Guide: Javascript - Testing & Error prevention

Description

Test-driven development has been around for a while but it gained traction in the last years, becoming the norm for many software teams. In this Guide you will try out this methodology. Also in this Guide you will make use of Typescript, which allows you to, for example, write strongly-typed Javascript and avoid errors in run time.
