Using jstestdriver is kind of involved:

first you need to start a server
then you (optionally) capture a server
then you could use jsautotest, but new files wouldn’t be picked up
feedback in one of those many terminal windows

This cast demonstrates Guard with the Guard-jstd plugin, with notifications in both:

the terminal
the desktop (notify-send)
colorizing my Emacs window

Awesome!
