Programmatically fire onmousemove event in javascript

Question

I'm writing a javascript library that does something on window.onmousemove event, now I'm writing the unit test for this code. How do I fire onmousemove for window object manually? For eg. I fire an event somethingHappened when window.onmousemove and other events are triggered, I want the unit test to make sure that the somethingHappened is triggered on onmousemove.

I'm using jsTestDriver with qUnit for testing.

Can't you just call window.onmousemove() anywhere you want?

if(condition) {
   window.onmousemove();
}

You can just call the onmousemove() handler:

window.onmousemove = function(){console.log('called');};
window.onmousemove();

PS

Anyway what you're trying to perform is an integration test, not a unit test
