 ### Running unit tests
 
 We recommend using [jasmine](http://pivotal.github.com/jasmine/) and
-[JsTestDriver](http://code.google.com/p/js-test-driver/) for your unit tests/specs, but you are free
+[Testacular](http://vojtajina.github.com/testacular/) for your unit tests/specs, but you are free
 to use whatever works for you.
 
-Requires java and a local or remote browser.
+Requires [node.js](http://nodejs.org/), Testacular (`sudo npm install -g testacular`) and a local
+or remote browser.
 
-* start `scripts/test-server.sh` (on windows: `scripts\test-server.bat`)
-* navigate your browser to `http://localhost:9876/`
-* click on one of the capture links (preferably the "strict" one)
-* run `scripts/test.sh` (on windows: `scripts\test.bat`)
-
-
-### Continuous unit testing
-
-Requires ruby and [watchr](https://github.com/mynyml/watchr) gem.
-
-* start JSTD server and capture a browser as described above
-* start watchr with `watchr scripts/watchr.rb`
-* in a different window/tab/editor `tail -f logs/jstd.log`
-* edit files in `app/` or `src/` and save them
-* watch the log to see updates
-
-There are many other ways to achieve the same effect. Feel free to use them if you prefer them over
-watchr.
+* start `scripts/test.sh` (on windows: `scripts\test.bat`)
+  * a browser will start and connect to the Testacular server (Chrome is default browser, others can be captured by loading the same url as the one in Chrome or by changing the `config/testacular.conf.js` file)
+* to run or re-run tests just change any of your source or test javascript files
