Description
With more JavaScript entering core (like the new revisions screen), it would be great to build some JavaScript unit tests. I am opening this ticket to stimulate some discussion! I'm new to JavaScript unit testing, so could use some help from those with more experience.
There are many javascript unit testing frameworks: Qunit and Jasmine seem like likely candidates. Those who have experience with JavaScript unit test - please offer direction!
So far, I set up Jasmine.js and phantomjs (headless javascript engine), which seemed relatively painless. I'm going to work on writing some actual tests next, starting with revisions. Once I have something useful, I will post the results here.

Adding a quick comment so I can get notified of the discussion. Have done some unit testing with Backbone.js/Underscore.js/Jasmine-jquery in the past, so will help where I can! Was also working great as a javascript-based TDD tool.
