Thanks Karim for your thoughts.
I think the first step will be to create a build script and run the
current unit testing code in it. Only then will the tests be executed on
a regular basis and we will have a motivation to write tests. I talked
to our sponsor about this, and I'm optimistic we get some time to do
this step in the near future.
Did we discuss a testing framework for JS? I think Karim took a glance
at envJS, while I peeked at QUnit which relies on jQuery.
We should think about putting testing on our road map for the next quarter.
