Unit testing: What to use, and how?

• tape

  17 5,757 8.5 JavaScript

  tap-producing test harness for node and browsers

  

A more minimalist approach is this tape module and the TAP protocol. https://www.npmjs.com/package/tape

• ava

  34 20,620 8.2 JavaScript

  Node.js test runner that lets you develop with confidence 🚀

  

I've had some good experiences with Ava + Sinon. I've personally disliked Jest because it seemed to do some weird trickery in the background that prevented me from using ES modules.

• utap

  3 33 1.8 JavaScript

  Micro TAP formatter

I'm using Node's builtin on my current project, and while it's fine, it feels somewhat barebones. Could be just the fact that it only does TAP output, but I've had to pull in an extra dependency for output formatting ( utap is nice ) and work out some kinks, like adding a custom assert message to assert.deepEquals removes the diff from the error message.
