Comment (by kadamwhite):

 Uploaded another patch to add in the `grunt-contrib-connect` task, which
 can be used to start a local webserver so developers can load the tests in
 a web browser. After talking with jorbin we don't automatically open up a
 web browser, in order to give the developer the flexibility to run from
 the command line or not, but these are now the tasks available:

 * `grunt test`: Run all available QUnit specs on the command line, and
 exit
 * `grunt watch:test`: Run all available QUnit specs on the command line,
 and re-run specs whenever any HTML or JS files within /tests/qunit change
 * `grunt test:debug`: Start a local webserver at http://localhost:8000/,
 then start `watch:test`:If you visit http://localhost:8000/tests/qunit/
 and activate LiveReload //e.g.// with a browser extension, the browser
 will auto-refresh the tests page whenever test files change.
