Test()
Define a unit test and it's configuration...
Syntax
Test(testName, testMode, unitTest[, testData]);
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Mandatory | Notes | API Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| testName | String |  | The name of the test – keep it concise but descriptive. | 1.0 |
| testMode | Test Mode | | The mode in which the test is run – see Test Modes for more details. | 1.0 |
| unitTest | Unit Tests | | A function that performs one or more Test Assertions and optionally Test Signals. | 1.0 |
| testData | Variant |  | Optionally pass in any data that will be exposed as the testData parameter in the unitTest function when it runs. | 1.0 |
Return values
Don't read too much in to these. Most test modes result in the test being queued in which case you'll almost always get a return value of Test.PENDING.
| Constant | Value | Type | Notes | API Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test.SUCCESS | true | Boolean | Indicates the test was completed and passed. | 1.0 |
| Test.FAILED | false | Boolean | Indicates the test was completed but failed. | 1.0 |
| Test.RUNNING | null | Null | Indicates a Test.ASYNCH( ) test is waiting for additional results from subsequent Test.APPEND( ) tests. | 1.0 |
| Test.PENDING | undefined | Undefined | Indicates the test has not yet started. | 1.0 |
| <error> | Error | Indicates that during a routine systems check, the NASDA system that was designed to protect us turned out to be our ultimate executioner. | 1.0 |

Topics:
- Test() — Define a unit test and it's configuration...
- Test Modules — A test module groups one or more unit tests and provides additional lifecycle settings for those tests...
- Test.module() — Allows multiple tests to be grouped together in to modules...
- Module Lifecycle Object — Configure the lifecycle of tests in the module...
- Test Modes — Defines the mode in which a unit test is run...
- Test.ANY( ) — The most basic unit test mode...
- Test.EXPECT( ) — Causes the test to fail if it does not generate the specified number of results...
- Test.ASYNCH( ) — Causes a test to keep running until it either passes, fails or times-out...
- Test.APPEND( ) — Appends results to a specific asynchronous test session...
- Unit Tests — The unit test function, responsible for performing one or more Test Assertions...
- Test Assertions — Assertions are used to perform various tests and annotations within a unit test...
- comment( ) — Adds a comment to the test results...
- ok( ) — A simple state checking assertion...
- hasNative( ) — Assert presence of a native property on the global object...
- hasFunction( ) — Check if a context has a function property, optionally with specified number of formal parameters...
- equal( ) — A basic equality checking assertion...
- notEqual( ) — A basic inequality checking assertion...

- similarTo( ) — A deep similarity checking assertion...
- notSimilarTo( ) — A deep dissimilarity spotting assertion...
- Test Signals — Signals are used to prematurely terminate Unit Tests...
- REQUIRE( ) — Check whether a test or group of tests have passed. If the requirement fails, a RequireSignal will be sent which terminates the current test and marks it as failed.
- ABORT( ) — Aborts the current test, marking it as failed in the process...
- FINISH( ) — Terminates the test as if it had finished normally...
- Test Events — Events defined by Test API...
