"Angular also has its own testing suite rather than integrating one of the existing popular JS test frameworks like Jasmine."

are you sure about that? pretty sure it uses Jasmine.

From the tutorial: "Angular developers prefer the syntax of Jasmine's Behavior-driven Development (BDD) framework when writing tests. Although Angular does not require you to use Jasmine, we wrote all of the tests in this tutorial in Jasmine. "




There are very brief references to Jasmine in the Unit Testing[1] and Testing Services[2] sections, however the complete (proprietary) E2E testing documentation does not mention Jasmine at all.[3]

Angular's agnostic to which testing framework you use. We test our angular app with a headless v8 running http://code.google.com/p/google-js-test/.


I'm working on an app using Angular and we test via Jasmine.

Angular adds some sugar on top for end to end UI testing.
