Hooray! I mean, I know it failed, but we saw it popping up the Persona dialog and getting

On Spiking and Mocking with JavaScript
Spiking
Exploratory coding to find out about a new API, or to explore the feasibility of a
new solution. Spiking can be done without tests. It’s a good idea to do your spike
on a new branch, and go back to master when de-spiking.
Mocking
We use mocking in unit tests when we have an external dependency that we don’t
want to actually use in our tests. A mock is used to simulate the third-party API.
Whilst it is possible to “roll your own” mocks in JavaScript, a mocking framework
like Sinon provides a lot of helpful shortcuts which will make it easier to write (and
more importantly, read) your tests.
Unit testing Ajax
Sinon is a great help here. Manually mocking Ajax methods is a real pain.
