Feed Reader Testing Overview

This project includes a series of Jasmine test suites that test a web-based application that reads RSS feeds.

Getting Started

Download the files and folders contained in this GitHub Repo and run locally from your computer.

To run locally from your computer, open the index.html file in your browser. The tests will be at the bottom of the page. Additionally, there is a Jasmine folder within the documents. Within that folder is a "spec" folder which holds the feedreader.js file, which contains all of the testing suites.

What do the tests do?
