A JavaScript test runner to run tests from the comfort of your terminal.
Because we want to run tests in a real browser environment, in our case WebKit, but in the same fashion we run out other (Rails) unit tests.
And we want to write the tests in a way that we can easily run them on other browsers as well, you know, html and js… This way we can run the tests from the terminal during regular development but still test on other browsers by loading the html/js files manually.

You betcha! (See the example.)
But these shouldn’t likely be a typical use case, I hope. So it actually works quite well seeing how many tests pass ;) The one that does fail has to do with the fact that there’s no window at all. I haven’t yet tried if it will simply work with a NSWindow. Also not sure yet why the end result says 2 failures…
