Even if you decide to not write unit tests for your application, AngularJS's end-to-end test runner enables you to fully automate your integration testing. Javascript's flexibility makes writing tests extremely easy, Jasmine syntax makes your tests into a set of stories that help lower the barrier to understanding your code base, and tools like Karma and Nodeunit enable you to have unit test coverage of your entire stack.

The MEAN stack comes with a very powerful suite of testing tools.

Here are a few highlights to keep in mind: Over the course of this tutorial, you'll see some of the key features and concepts that make the MEAN stack such a powerful development tool. The mean-stack-todo repo started off as a direct duplicate of the mean-stack-skeleton repo from last week.

I will link to the diff on github for each step below as well. This process will take 12 steps and you can follow along here. We'll also set up a basic automated testing suite. This time we're going to take that shiny new MEAN Stack and put it to good use by building a very simple to-do list. Didn't catch that one and need help getting started with the MEAN Stack? You can find everything you need in Introduction to the MEAN Stack, Part One. In last week's blog post, I showed you how to install all of the basic tools that you need to get up and running with the MEAN Stack.
