How can i create JavaScript test cases

I am currently working on some test cases for my website. I've managed to test the back-end functionality using the simple-test framework.

I have some important javascript tools that requires some automatic testing. I know javascript is a client side language and it requires a browser, i am just wondering if its something i can do.

Notice the test must run from Linux CLI.

Thank you

Jasmine is what I use for my Javascript testing. It can be found here : https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine (UPDATED -- 2015)

I also use JSCoverage to test my code coverage. It can be found here : http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/

You can install node.js with jasmine-node package to run your tests using cli:

Here's a brief intro to Jasmine:

And here's a tutorial on jasmine-node:

PS

In order to reference the code to be tested is useful to grasp how module.export works on Node.js ... here you'll find all the info you need to get started: http://jherdman.github.com/2010-04-05/understanding-nodejs-require.html (broken link) http://coppieters.blogspot.be/2013/03/tutorial-explaining-module-export.html
