I am simply using busted or more specifically vusted which is a wrapper around busted for Neovim. It should be quite straightforward to learn the basics, I would say you mostly need to know these functions: describe, it (these are used to structure your test cases) and assert.are_same (to check for table equality). Some people are also using plenary which is also based on busted.

- Decided to start working on a Lua testing framework that truly makes things convenient. I always see a testing framework with useless assertions and conditional statements, time for something better above all else. It's a work in progress, but I am excited, and I think it looks promising.
