    1.0 out of 5 stars Out of date, or sloppy? either way broken examples aren't acceptable. Important information missing.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    All examples should be well tested. mistakes like $rootscope instead of $rootScope or using expect(bottomEventSpy.wasCalled).toEqual(false) which doesn't work instead of expect(bottomEventSpy).not.toHaveBeenCalled();

    I was able to find a significant coding error or problem with the tests on about every page I looked at. Forget my money back I want my time back!

    $q service isn't event mentioned :(

    Hire a programmer for an editor, visit angular and jasmine websites to look for any material missed and please finish this book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars ... the book because it was said to have a good chapter on Protractor

    I bought the book because it was said to have a good chapter on Protractor. Beyond setup, this chapter was useless. Refer to others reviews for their opinion as an Angular TDD source.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough Tutorials on Unit and End-to-End Testing
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2015
    Format: Paperback
    An excellent end-to-end walk-through of an Angular workflow where testing is as natural and unobtrusive as possible. Unit testing with Jasmine/Karma and end-to-end testing with Protractor are thoroughly covered (although the author by no means exhausts the Jasmine and Protractor APIs), and he makes a very strong case for true test-driven development.

    Though I've been personally working with Jasmine/Karma for awhile, I've never learned to use Protractor and I'm glad this book covered it. The online documentation and available tutorials on Protractor is a bit spotty and it's been hard to try and self-teach, so that lead me to search for some good books. Amos Haviv's "MEAN Web Development" doesn't cover much of Protractor, and really neither have Adam Freeman or any of Brad Dayley's Angular books, but the need for end-to-end testings is certainly there.

    Reading this book I realized how I was pushing my unit tests to do what could be more easily done in Protractor, and as a result of the effort involved in writing those kinds of jQuery-heavy DOM inspecting tests, I was thereafter reluctant to keep my unit tests in sync whenever I made coding changes. The better solution would have been (in hindsight) to learn how to use Protractor, scale back on the jQuery usage in my unit tests, and limit the scope of my true unit tests to where they more naturally fall in place.

    I am not sure I'll be able to personally adopt a full test-driven development workflow, but we'll see over time if the impression left on my by this book will set in. Test-driven development is a hard mindset to adopt as it takes away from the ingrained workflow that most of us have had for our entire careers, but if it can be done in any particular language it would probably be least obtrusive in a dynamic language like JavaScript or Python.

    One word of caution with this author's style is he tends to introduce features in code before fully defining them, but stick with it because he'll do so later. It might frustrate you at first as you leaf back through the book to see if you missed something earlier, but he will explain in-depth later (sometimes in a later chapter even). In retrospect I think I prefer this to the more standard pattern of a dictionary's worth of definitions and explanations before you get to see it in action. And to his credit, the author understands the value of repetition in driving home new concepts as you'll be exposed to new concepts several times and sometimes with a few different looks at it before moving on to the next concept. So this is definitely the type of book where you can learn new concepts instead of just wetting your appetite enough to be confused and then end up searching the web for the API docs.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I would not recommend this book for introductory AngularJS developers
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2015
    Format: Paperback
    AngularJS testing is an oft-neglected topic, so it was quite refreshing to dive into a subtopic of the framework. Protractor can be a bit of a drag to get configured properly, and this book offers plenty of coverage for getting off the ground with it. I would not recommend this book for introductory AngularJS developers, as it requires at least a basic level of understanding of the main framework components to really understand how and why various testing methodologies are appropriate. Overall, a fine supplementary text for individuals concerned with getting AngularJS testing right the first time.

    That book is a great intruduction to testing angular applications. The book is written very concisely and supported by numerous examples.The book is not for beginners, but for those who want to improve the quality of their application code.

    Reading this book was a pleasure for me.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2015
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This book provides a very useful and clear overview on how several different testing tools / frameworks interlock. It then progresses with easy to follow instructions on how to set up and run the testing tools, following either a top-down or bottom-up approach. Some of my colleagues are new to test-driven development, so I have recommended this book as a must read on the project.
