This week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:\xa0 Hello friends.CHUCK:\xa0 We have Joe Eames.JOE:\xa0 Hey, everybody.CHUCK:\xa0 I'm Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. I'm the only person on this particular episode whose name does not start with J.We also have -- I know I'm going to destroy this name. Jorn Zaefferer.JORN:\xa0 Hi! Yeah, it\u2019s me. You should have practiced the last name too.CHUCK:\xa0 Yeah.JOE:\xa0 You should pronounce that correctly for us so we know.JORN:\xa0 Jorn Zaefferer.CHUCK:\xa0 Alright. Well, I can say Jorn. So, I\u2019m going to stick with that.JORN:\xa0 Yeah, that works.CHUCK:\xa0 Do you want to introduce your self for the people who aren\u2019t aware of who you are and what you do?JORN:\xa0 Sure. I'm a freelance software developer since a little bit more than two years now. I am involved a lot in the jQuery project and have been involved in that for years. So far, I'm the only person on the Board of Directors of the jQuery Foundation outside of the US. And for the jQuery project, I'm working mostly on jQuery UI and the testing tools. So jQuery UI, I'm one of the lead developers. One was Scott Gonzalez. For the testing tools, I'm leading that team. So, I'm trying to get contributions from other people so things move along evenly. There\u2019s usually much more work to do than I can handle myself. So, I\u2019m trying my best to get open source going there.CHUCK:\xa0 So, you work on jQuery UI and QUnit?JORN:\xa0 I\u2019m working on the jQuery UI and the testing tools which involves QUnit and a few other things. QUnit is the one that\u2019s actually featured in the jQuery site. We also have TestSwarm and even smaller tools that eventually should get there as well. It\u2019s much more influx than QUnit is.CHUCK:\xa0 Interesting. So, we brought you on the show to talk about QUnit. Joe is kind of our testing guru as far as JavaScript goes. Is QUnit just a unit testing framework or do you provide other tools for integration with a backend or other libraries?JORN:\xa0 QUnit focuses mostly on unit testing. But people usually end up using it for other things as well. I heard a story where someone was using QUnit to do performance regression testing.Special Guest: J\xf6rn Zaefferer.
