Unit testing our UIs
Hi
We’re adding more and more UIs to Solr, and they have no unit tests (as far as I know). I could not find any discussions on this topic in the list archives, so thought to bring it up here.
I only know about Selenium, could be cool to write up some simple tests exercising key parts of the Admin UI in various browsers. Or?

I don't know about testing in angular.js but in general there are fancy tools for frontend testing:
http://casperjs.org (http://casperjs.org/)
http://phantomjs.org (http://phantomjs.org/)
angular.js' documentation on testing:
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/unit-testing
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/e2e-testing

I should say that our AngularUI should be much more testable than the
existing one, as it is more modular, and can be tested (even without a
browser) using dependency injection.

I would love to work out how to test Angular UIs - it has been on my
todo list for some time.
As I understand it, we'd need a browser (e.g. Chrome) running in the
background, which would make it a different kind of test to the rest of
our test suite.
I'm game for working on it. If we can get a single test that works, I
can start using it more widely across the UI.
