Some people say that legacy code is any code written without tests, and I am one of those people. But I'm also a front-end developer, which means that testing my code often requires a browser. This makes testing slightly more difficult, or at least I thought it was. In reality, it's actually quite simple and in this article I'll show you what it takes to get started!
GitHub and Travis CI
In order to test our code, we're going to use GitHub and Travis CI. GitHub will host our code, and Travis CI will serve as the testing platform. This is all completely free for public repositories, and there's plenty of documentation to help you in using both these products. The first thing to do is to create a repository on GitHub. For the sake of this tutorial, I've created a repository that you can find here. The next step is to visit the page at https://travis-ci.org/ and sign in with GitHub. Once done, you'll need to add a repository for Travis to run tests against as shown in the image below.
