#2This project was originally called Testacular. I was little confused at first, thinking it was a late and flat April fool's joke.

Great. The name alone has stopped me from using it.

Yup. If you look at the docs, they haven't finished renaming it yet. They seem to be using 'karma' and 'testacular' interchangeably.

Pity, Testacular was such a ballsy name.

#6I believe one of the guys behind this is Misko Hevery (of AngularJS). He's test-driven mad (which is a good thing IMO). I've been meaning to try Testacular / Karma out just because of the pedigree.

#7Very cool project. Nothing like having your tests run every time you save a file... in several different browsers if you like. This and docco made me think about about node differently. Though it is a server side JavaScript framework, it has also become a platform for developer automation tasks.

Wow. My humor is pretty crude but I'd never made the connection to testicles before. I'd just assumed it was a portmanteau of "test" and "spectacular" but I am British and the latter word still sees some usage ;-)

#10Autorunning tests is cool, and great for TDD. I usually just use Guard for that, but I can understand why they would build their own thing to suit their needs better.
