A next-generation code testing stack for JavaScript.

“Just make the Intern do the testing”

Intern is a complete test stack for JavaScript designed to help you write and run consistent, high-quality test cases for your JavaScript libraries and applications. It can be used to test any JavaScript code. Its functional testing capabilities can even be used to test non-JavaScript Web and mobile apps, if you really want.

Quick start

1. Install from npm

   cd /my/project/root
   npm install intern --save-dev
   

2. Create a copy of the example configuration file in your package’s test directory and edit appropriately. See the configuration documentation for a list of all available options.

   mkdir tests ; cp node_modules/intern/tests/example.intern.js tests/intern.js
   

3. Verify your configuration works by running the Node.js client and seeing that no errors are output.

   node_modules/.bin/intern-client config=tests/intern
   

4. Start writing tests! See the writing tests documentation and the Intern tutorial to learn how.
