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.

Fastcheck: Property based testing for JavaScript and TypeScript
The clojure/clojurescript tooling for QuickCheck is quite powerful - as it has a wide range of generators which are able to generate smarter / more specific data than simply matching on types.
And since clojurescript can be compiled and exported to JavaScript, this makes it available to JavaScript projects. A few years ago I packaged this up as https://github.com/glenjamin/checkers. I expect there are newer versions of the underlying library available now, but as I haven't been working in this ecosystem for a while, I haven't kept the package up to date.

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.
