Google’s JavaScript Testing Tools Now Open Source

Google’s JavaScript testing tools have been used by many Google developers during the process of web application development. This week Google announced that their JavaScript testing tools are now officially open source, and available for free.

The Google JS Test is used by Google for internal testing of the V8 JavaScript engine that is used by the Chrome web browser. According to Google, the JS Test is responsible for the speed increases that the Chrome browser has seen this year.
