Cory,
It was great session, came to know about many new topics and techniques. We missed some of the slides that could not be covered due to short time. May I request the Powerpoint slides to go through the rest of them?

My team is re-tooling our Jenkins CI build. We plan to keep Mocha, but wonder which is better, TestEm or Karma? Also, is Istanbul best for code coverage, or are there alternatives?
