Usage of regular expression test() method

Hi all,
I am new to this javascript. I want to know the usage of (/,/.test(arguments)). I have seen the usage of a test function in regular expression. But i have no idea what it is doing. If i alert this it is returning true or false based on the condition. can any one explain how it is returning true or false with that 2 backward slashes separated by comma.

Welcome to TSDN!

Moved from the Articles section. Changed the thread title. Please use a good thread title.

The regular expression matches a comma. See this link on regular expressions in Javascript.
