Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The 5 principles of Unit Testing
Libraries like JSVerify or Fast-Check offer essential tools to facilitate property-based testing.

How to Survive Your Project's First 100k Lines
Strong agree!
For JavaScript, I suggest folks check out fast-check [0] and this introduction to property-based testing that uses fast-check [1].
This is broadly useful, but one specific place I've found it helpful was to check redux reducers against generated lists of actions to find unchecked edge cases and data assumptions.

Master property-based testing in JavaScript: A step-by-step tutorial
Brilliant, this is a massive improvement. Previously I was fumbling around in https://github.com/dubzzz/fast-check/tree/main/packages/fast-check/documentation for info.

[AskJS] Should I be generating random data for parameters when unit testing?
There's a library for exactly that: FastCheck.

Integrate Jest and fast-check together
It makes @fast-check/jest, the best option to integrate Jest and fast-check, as it provides an abstraction over both to ease their mutual integration.

Generating dummy entities with random data for tests based on types
The closest that I know of (and I have not used this) is zod-fast-check. It generates fast-check “arbitraries” (test data generators) for property-based testing based on zod schemas. Of course, this requires that you use zod to define your types, which has some downsides. Fortunately there is another tool, ts-to-zod, (which I also have not used) which will codegen zod schemas based on TS type definitions. If you thread these four libraries together you should end up with the ability to write random tests on generated data with very little overhead. In theory.

Best practice where to test validation?
For something like this, I might break out fast-check for testing. It’s good at generating a wide range of values for a given type, and could help you get good test coverage without having to hand-author a lot of repetitive error inputs.

Unit Testing Expo Apps With Jest
console.error Jest encountered an unexpected token Jest failed to parse a file. This happens e.g. when your code or its dependencies use non-standard JavaScript syntax, or when Jest is not configured to support such syntax. Out of the box Jest supports Babel, which will be used to transform your files into valid JS based on your Babel configuration. By default "node\_modules" folder is ignored by transformers. Here's what you can do: • If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it. • If you are trying to use TypeScript, see https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-typescript • To have some of your "node\_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config. • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config. • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option. You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs: https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration For information about custom transformations, see: https://jestjs.io/docs/code-transformation

Painless CLI integration testing
We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

What is integration testing in UI/Front End?
Jest has long been my favorite got to test runner when it comes to UI unit and integration testing. With tools like React Testing Library (Testing Library framework for React) you get the benefit of very easy to write and maintain tests, as well as a quick and efficient way to run our tests.
