HTML5/Javascript Developer

Our client is the leading computer components manufacturer seeking an HTML5/JAVASCRIPT DEVELOPER to develop a web browser plugin.

The first objective is to create a demo-app that showcases the functionality of this web browser plugin. The demo-app must be written in HTML5/CSS/JavaScript. The Developer will be expected to improve and polish any coding that has already started, and to continue development of the app. The demo-app runs locally on a client system, and is intended to be seen by customers/consumers.

The second objective is to develop a set of validation tests that exercise the behavior of this plugin in a more automated manner. The plugin that is being developed has an API that is very similar to the HTML5 MediaElement API. The validation tests will also be written in HTML5/CSS/JavaScript, but the users of these tests are Validation Engineers. The emphasis will be on using JavaScript to automate testing of the plugin, wherever possible. The Developer will be expected to develop the JavaScript-based tests.
