This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {

If you've done much reading about angularjs you've no doubt come across mention of karma, a test runner recommended especially for use with angularjs applications. The [angular-seed][1] project is a great way to get started with the basics of angular testing using karma, but for projects of any significant size you will soon hit the cieling in terms of organizational complexity. What I want to share in this article is the approach I have taken using [Grunt][2] and the [grunt-karma][3] plugin to sustainably manage my projects' client side unit tests and run them via [TravisCI][4]. I plan to write another entry about how to approach the actual minutia of unit testing angular code in the near future.

Karma, configuration for tests

Karma is really nothing more than a set of centralized configuration that builds a test runner for you. The advantage being that it allows you to easily execute tests in a headless browser, and output to the command line. As someone who has actually set all of that up from scratc
