Testable JavaScript Resources

Testing JavaScript isn't just a thing you can read about in children's fairy tales.

This is just a scratch pad of everything I find. As the really good resources start to float to the top, I'll transition them to a more permanent GitHub repo.

I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views.
