Hi Paul, Thanks for a quick response. This definitely helps Yes ideally I am trying to do Integration tests here using real backend. How should I go about the same ...option I see 1) Use Karma with httpBackend.Passthrough 2) Use protractor - this mostly seems to be a UI based automation framework, which I don't want to take dependency on. UI automation is mostly flaky and requires more maintenance cost. 3) Do you have any other Framework in mind that we can use for JS API based integration testing? Instead of using HTML elements, we want to use Angular JS APIs directly.
