## Development
###Tools
We use the following tools for development:
- [Qunit](http://qunitjs.com/) for tests.
- [NodeJS](http://nodejs.org/download/) required to run grunt.
- [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) for task management.
###Getting started
Install [NodeJS](http://nodejs.org/).
Install globally grunt-cli using the following command:
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
Browse to the project root directory and install the dev dependencies:
$ npm install -d
To execute the build and tests run the following command in the root of the project:
$ grunt
You should see a green message in the console:
Done, without errors.
###Tests
You can also run the tests in the browser.
Start a test server from the project root:
$ grunt connect:tests
This will automatically open the test suite at http://127.0.0.1:9998 in the default browser, with livereload enabled.
_Note: we recommend cleaning all the browser cookies before running the tests, that can avoid false positive failures._
###Automatic build
You can build automatically after a file change using the following command:
$ grunt watch
