Unit testing: What to use, and how?

1. tape

   1 17 5,789 7.5 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

3. ava

   2 34 20,784 5.2 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.

4. Sinon.JS

   3 32 9,732 8.2 JavaScript

   Test spies, stubs and mocks for JavaScript.

   

   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.

5. utap

   4 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.

6. Prisma

   5 485 42,501 9.9 TypeScript

   Next-generation ORM for Node.js & TypeScript | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB and CockroachDB
