This is an example of a node.js api testing stack similar to one that I implemented on a client project.

node.js API Testing Example

This is an example of a testing stack for a node.js api. The stack I've put together here includes Mocha, Chai, and SuperTest. Use these tests for reference when you are setting this stack up in your node project.

How to run the tests...

Hey there,
Figured this was a good place to toss a comment. Neat article. One thing I noticed, as it seems to be targeted at first time test builders, that you don't describe how to actually runs the tests.

I'd suggest maybe adding a paragraph about running mocha, and how to add a test command to the scripts section of a package.json

Also would be helpful to convert the code samples to inline code as opposed to images.
