# A JavaScript Testing Framework

Jasmine is a Behavior Driven Development testing framework for JavaScript. It does not rely on browsers, DOM, or any JavaScript framework. Thus it's suited for websites, [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) projects, or anywhere that JavaScript can run.

Documentation & guides live here: [http://jasmine.github.io](http://jasmine.github.io/)
For a quick start guide of Jasmine, see the beginning of [http://jasmine.github.io/edge/introduction.html](http://jasmine.github.io/edge/introduction.html).

Upgrading from Jasmine 2.x? Check out the [3.0 release notes](https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine/blob/v3.0.0/release_notes/3.0.md) for a list of what's new (including breaking changes).

## Supported environments

Jasmine tests itself across many browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer) as well as nodejs.

| Environment       | Supported versions |
|-------------------|--------------------|
| Node              | 8, 10, 12          |
| Safari            | 8-13               |
| Chrome            | Evergreen          |
| Firefox           | Evergreen, 68      |
| Edge              | Evergreen          |
| Internet Explorer | 10, 11             |

For evergreen browsers, each version of Jasmine is tested against the version of the browser that is available to us
at the time of release. Other browsers, as well as older & newer versions of some supported browsers, are likely to work.
However, Jasmine isn't tested against them and they aren't actively supported.
