If I were to read a book about a language or a platform, i will have no problems to read tests written in an outdated framework as long these tests are readables and self descriptive.
And I think all tests should be self descriptive ;) So in my opinion you should not choose the framework because the support it will have in two years or if it will be even used in two years.. but you should choose the more readable and expressive. 2012/7/16 Alex Young <[email protected]> > Hello, > > I write about Node a lot, and I often illustrate concepts using tests. > However, there isn't a standard test runner for Node. > > So, let's say I'm writing a book about Node.
