About
Jest is a JavaScript testing framework designed to simplify the testing process for developers, making it an ideal tool for anyone working on JavaScript projects. With its focus on simplicity, Jest aims to work seamlessly out of the box, requiring zero configuration for most projects. This delightful framework is perfect for developers who want to ensure the correctness of their JavaScript codebase without the hassle of complex setup.
Details
- Zero Config: Works out of the box, config-free, on most JavaScript projects
- Snapshots: Makes tests that keep track of large objects with ease, with snapshots living alongside tests or embedded inline
- Isolated Tests: Parallelized by running them in their own processes to maximize performance
- Great API: Includes the entire toolkit in one place, with a well-documented and well-maintained API
- Fast and Safe: Runs tests in parallel while ensuring unique global state, with previously failed tests run first and re-organized based on test file duration
- Code Coverage: Generates code coverage by adding the
--coverage
flag, with no additional setup needed - Easy Mocking: Uses a custom resolver for imports in tests, making it simple to mock any object outside of the test's scope
