 With more JavaScript entering core (like the new revisions screen), it
 would be great to build some JavaScript unit tests. I am opening this
 ticket to stimulate some discussion! I'm new to JavaScript unit testing,
 so could use some help from those with more experience.

 There are many javascript unit testing frameworks: Qunit and Jasmine seem
 like likely candidates. Those who have experience with JavaScript unit
 test - please offer direction!

 So far, I set up Jasmine.js and phantomjs (headless javascript engine),
 which seemed relatively painless. I'm going to work on writing some actual
 tests next, starting with revisions. Once I have something useful, I will
 post the results here.
