##Approach:

I saw someone write: “Meteor is to Node.js as Rails is to Ruby” and I think that’s a good time for trying new framework. Meteor has real-time built into its core though. When the database is updated, the data in your templates is updated. When a user clicks a button or submits a form, the action occurs immediately. In the vast majority of cases, this doesn’t even require any extra effort. You build a web application as you normally would and, out of the box, it just happens to be real-time. For testing I used Velocity.It is a set of tools, which supports several frameworks like Jasmine, CasperJS, Cucumber, Mocha, Dredd & Robot. Velocity provides a mirror of an application with a separate database that can be used for testing. Velocity also comes with two test runners, a HTML test runner and a console test runner. For my tests I’ve used Cucumber.
