**A JavaScript Testing Framework**

Jasmine is a Behavior Driven Development testing framework for JavaScript. It does not rely on browsers, DOM, or any JavaScript framework. Thus it's suited for websites, [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) projects, or anywhere that JavaScript can run.

Documentation & guides live here: [http://jasmine.github.io](http://jasmine.github.io/)
For a quick start guide of Jasmine 2.x, see the beginning of [http://jasmine.github.io/edge/introduction.html](http://jasmine.github.io/edge/introduction.html)

Upgrading from Jasmine 1.x? Check out the [2.0 release notes](https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine/blob/v2.0.0/release_notes/20.md) for a list of what's new (including breaking interface changes). You can also read the [upgrade guide](http://jasmine.github.io/2.0/upgrading.html).
