node-api-without-dependencies VS jest

To support different REST endpoints, you need to write a custom router that can trigger different route handlers for /v1/bitcoin/rates and /v1/bitcoin/rates/:currency. This takes a bit of playing around with regex:

NestJS includes Jest out of the box for testing. Some people prefer changing it to Vitest, but honestly, Jest is more than good enough for now. Don’t waste time switching tools if they’re not the bottleneck.

Testing ensures code reliability and maintainability. Jest, Vitest and React Testing Library are standard tools for unit and integration testing. Unit tests verify individual components, while integration tests ensure features work together. For example, testing a TodoList component might involve:

Jest

Since version 20, the Node test runner is available as a stable module. This means you can safely use it for testing. The syntax that Node provides is pretty similar to Jest. You check your function results with assert, and test suites are organized with describe, test, beforeEach... aliases, just like in Jest. Here’s a sample test for bitcoinService.ts:

Popular frameworks like Jest, Mocha, or JUnit provide everything you need for effective webhook unit testing, with mocking capabilities that let you simulate external dependencies.

Proactive testing is critical for catching bugs before they reach production. Comprehensive test suites—covering unit, integration, and UI scenarios—detect issues early in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Roman Surikov, Founder of Ronas IT, advises, “Ensure that [automated testing] covers various scenarios including unit, integration, and user interface testing to catch bugs early.” A 2024 Sauce Labs report found that teams with automated testing pipelines reduce bug-related costs by 25%. Tools like Jest for JavaScript unit tests, Selenium for UI testing, and TestRail for test management streamline this process.
