    For those who are familiar with testing in Javascript but not in APEX or vice-versa, here are some key things to note. The Apex language comes with system methods for writing apex unit tests classes. For JavaScript, there are a number of different testing frameworks but Salesforce recommends using Jest for Lightning Web Components and LWC OSS because of its popularity, ease-of-use, and open-source framework. Jest for Lightning Web Components is available at the sfdx-lwc-jest Github repo. The following table draws some comparisons between the frameworks.
