Developers who know how to build and leverage tests are highly valued by their clients and companies. Testing Angular Applications is an example-rich, hands-on guide that gives the real-world techniques needed to thoroughly test all parts of Angular 2 applications. The book starts with an introduction to Angular 2, TypeScript, testing fundamentals, and the testing frameworks and tools used in the book. Next, it explains how to set-up an Angular 2 environment, including TypeScript and the Angular 2 dependencies. The reader will then create their first component. The second part of the book focuses on the most important concepts of Angular 2, such as testing components, directives, pipes, services, and routing. This book will allow readers to confidently write unit and endto-end tests for Angular 2 applications and TypeScript. Key features * Testing components, directives, services and pipes * Real-world techniques * Hands-on examples * Foundation for writing advances tests * Provides code that can be reused in a production environment Audience This book is for readers with intermediate JavaScript skills and some experience with JavaScript frameworks. No experience with testing or Angular required. About the Technology Angular 2 is the latest version of the popular web application framework built by Google and its army of community contributors. Angular 2 is a mobile-first framework that promises to be fast, flexible, and expressive.

Vielleicht mochten Sie diese ersten Worte gerne uberspringen, um gleich "zum Kern der Sache" zu kommen, aber lesen Sie die Einleitung trotzdem. Die Informationen sind nutzlich und kurzgefasst. Sie werden wissen wollen, ob dieses Buch Ihren Anspruchen gerecht wird. Dies ist der Fall, wenn Ihr Computer MS-DOS benutzt. Das Buch selbst wurde auf einem IBM Personal-Computer geschrieben. Sein Inhalt jedoch kann, mit Ausnahme einiger Befehle, auf jeden unter MS-DOS arbeitenden Mikrocomputer angewendet werden. Sie haben sich dieses Buch zusatzlich zu den umfangreichen Handbuchern, die Sie mit Ihrer DOS-Version bekommen haben, gekauft -oder haben sich zu mindest die Zeit genommen, es durchzublattern. Warum? Was kann Ihnen ein solches Buch sonst noch bieten? Das DOS-Handbuch ist grundlich und voll standig. Es ist Ihr offizielles und umfassendes DOS-Nachschlagewerk. Sein Ziel ist jedoch in erster Linie, technische Informationen zu liefern, die Sie zum Umgang mit DOS eigentlich nicht brauchen. Dieses Buch zeigt Ihnen zwar nicht, wie Sie Ihren Computer einrichten, und beschreibt auch nicht in allen Einzelheiten die Teile des Systems, wie z.B. Tastatur oder Bildschirm. Dies durfte in den mit dem Computer gelieferten DOS-Handbuchern umfassend behandelt sein."
