How can I test a normal plain javascript file?
Finally I solved with karma + phantomjs + jasmine
with karma I can load the javacript file and tests files adding lines to the karma configuration file this way
// karma.conf.js
files: [
'hello.js',
'hello_test.js'
],
and write the tests this way
// test_hello.js
describe('test lib', function () {
it('test hello', function () {
expect(hello('world')).toBe('hello world');
});
});
A example available in github

For this you could use QUnit.
You would setup a test harness like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>Test Suite</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.10.1.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="qunit"></div>
<div id="qunit-fixture"></div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.10.1.js"></script>
<script src="hello.js"></script>
<script>
// This can of course be in a separate file
QUnit.test( "hello test", function( assert ) {
assert.ok( hello('world') === "hello world", "Passed!" );
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
