! ! ! Complete Rewrite ! ! !

[einari]

Here is the idea:
Rewrite Forseti with a few goals in mind :

Features

• First and foremost; create our own BDD based framework a BDD style syntax very similar to MSpec for C# (Given, When, It / Then) - reusable contexts..
• Auto watch files by convention
  • systems matched with specification and context - configurable convention
  • Should be clever - if a system is saved, run all specs, if a spec is saved - run only the spec
• Make it possible to run as a Node module only
• Enable Grunt support
• Cross platform
• Make it possible for us to bridge C# and .net by utilizing EdgeJS
• Integrate into IDEs (Visual Studio 2013 / 2015 first)
  • Look at integrating the debugger in Visual Studio - would be great!
  • Run only specific test - not all that is affected (AutoWatch off)

Future

• Support Jasmine and other frameworks
• Codecoverage

Technical solution

• Sit as a server in its own process
• Utilize things like socket.io / SignalR thinking
• Expose Web page from navigating to server for web based testing + debugging

Goal

• Feedback loop oriented.
• Get feedback into a form that is easily accessible
• Get out of the way - don't think about it - just work!
• Integrate with every developers life!
