Ask HN - JavaScript testing and dependency management

[superted]

For larger projects involving a large amount of javascript dependencies, what options are there to maintain a healthy code base? I am currently using Maven for accomplishing pretty much the same in Java (dependency management, checking code health, unit testing, generating documentation etc). Not saying that Maven is perfect, but it makes the entire process somewhat stream-lined. Are there similar tools available for javascript projects?

Pimping my own projects here, but have a look at http://jsclass.jcoglan.com/packages.html and http://he.jcoglan.com

Looks really neat for runtime dependency management. However, what I am looking for more specifically is more of a preprocessing application/tool able to use scripts such as JSLint, JSCoverage and JSUnit.
