- thingylab 11y agoIs it futuristic because it runs tests concurrently?

- s986s 11y agoIt also shoots lasers, runs from the gpu and is in the cloud Edit: despite i made myself giggle, I realize this comment is disrespectful to the hard work the ava team put in. I will stand by it though because I believe its to the benefit of people to realize how intention and theme doesnt necessarilly match reality. But I love spaceships more than coffee tbh (hard competition though) Edit: i love how my comment was upvoted before my second. Glad we are a thoughtful group. Basically that tells me emotional responses are rewarded/punished rather than arguably productive. Criticism is important
- shrikant 11y agoProbably because it's named after the humanoid character portrayed by Alicia Vikander in Ex Machina.
- hartror 11y agoIs this a test runner like karma or a testing library like jasmine?
- mofle 11y agoJasmine
- sotojuan 11y agoHappy contributor to this project. It's great! Small useless nitpick: It's "AVA".
- StavrosK 11y agoHN auto-titlecases things, Afaik.

- sdegutis 11y agotl;dr: JavaScript test runner that runs tests concurrently and is designed with ES6 features in mind
- quxbar 11y agoStarted using it with Enzyme, fell in love with unit tests again. Upgrade your tired old Mocha/Chai tests today! Keep Sinon though, Sinon is chill.
- lucisferre 11y agoConsidering it is still single threaded, does the fact that it is async really matter unless your tests do a lot of I/O?
- mofle 11y agoAVA also run test files concurrently in separate processes.
