Asynchronous Testing with Jasmine

Creating async tests with jasmine is quite intuitive.

If you've read the documentation, then you are aware of the waitsFor and runs helpers in Jasmine. I had more than one async action in my test, so it required an inspection on my side to verify that Jasmine would run the test in the same way I had expected.

If you specify a series of waitsFor or waits and runs callbacks, then Jasmine will start the countdown for each waitsFor at the appropriate time (in this gist - after the previous runs callback was completed).

This gist shows a successful test that performs 2 async increments of x. The values of the countdowns indicate that the callbacks are called at the appropriate time, otherwise the test will fail at the second waitsFor.
