Usage

Actions

Actions are commands that can be sent to the Alexa, e.g:

• launchMakeConnections()
• sendYesIntent()
• answerQuestionCorrectly()
• answerQuestionIncorrectly()
• sendHelpIntent()

Each action will return a promise, containing the response from the Alexa skill. Each response will typically contain output speech(ssml), a card to render and any state/session attributes.

Custom assertions

As well as the standard assertions includded within Chai, a few custom assertions are being built to further the reach of the tests and make existing assertions more semantic. Custom assertions will always take a response recieved from an individual action, for example:

let data = await launchMakeConnections()
expect(data).to.have.speech("Welcome to...")

Some other examples of custom assertions are:

• expect(data).to.be.a.question()
• expect(data).to.be.question(1)
• expect(data).to.have.score(2)
• expect(data).to.have.state('STATE')
