# TDD - Test Driven Development tutorial

---

Thanks [Collin](https://github.com/cfmeyers) for the intro to TDD =)

Watch [this 8ish minute video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdNnN5yTIeM) for a quick look into how awesome TDD can be!

####Get started with mocha, chai and test driven development in 5 easy steps!

  ***

Testing with mocha & chai is super easy.

Let's start in whichever root directory you'd like. Keep in mind you'll be making a test dir inside there and also locally installing chai.

**Step 1**

Global install mocha

```

$ npm install -g mocha

```

**Step 2**

Make a new directory and touch your files...

```

$ mkdir test

$ touch test/testing.js

```

**Step 3**

Locally install chai and npm init

```

$ npm init

$ npm install --save chai

```

**Step 4**

Let's start testing/developing!

```

$ cd test

$ [youreditor] testing.js

```

Start writing in your test file. You can use terms like describe, it, should, do, be and lots more depending on which library you choose to use.

Check out [ChaiJs styles](http://chaijs.com/guide/styles/) for more language styles.

**Step 5**

Once you've completed your test file and are ready to test, cd back out to the root directory and run mocha.

```

$ cd ..

$ mocha

```

Your test should tell you if there were any issues and move your development forward.
