Firing up a web page in order to run our tests every time we make a change to one of our tests can quickly become labor-intensive and error-prone. We have already explored the use of Grunt in our build tools in order to detect file changes and automatically recompile our TypeScript files when a file is saved. In this section, we will explore a few test runners that will detect changes to our test suite and automatically rerun our tests without intervention. Using test runners gives us instant feedback on the status of all tests as we are writing our code and saving changes.

Overview of this book
TypeScript is both a language and a set of tools to generate JavaScript. It was designed by Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft to help developers write enterprise-scale JavaScript.
Starting with an introduction to the TypeScript language, before moving on to basic concepts, each section builds on previous knowledge in an incremental and easy-to-understand way. Advanced and powerful language features are all covered, including asynchronous programming techniques, decorators, and generics.
This book explores many modern JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks side by side in order for the reader to learn their respective strengths and weaknesses. It will also thoroughly explore unit and integration testing for each framework.
Best-of-breed applications utilize well-known design patterns in order to be scalable, maintainable, and testable. This book explores some of these object-oriented techniques and patterns, and shows real-world implementations.
By the end of the book, you will have built a comprehensive, end-to-end web application to show how TypeScript language features, design patterns, and industry best practices can be brought together in a real-world scenario.
