supertest
🕷 Super-agent driven library for testing node.js HTTP servers using a fluent API. Maintained for @forwardemail, @ladjs, @spamscanner, @breejs, @cabinjs, and @lassjs.
Supertest is quite popular and easy to use test tool, you can do integration and E2E test as well, you just need to pass it the server instance or a string to make a request and assert over the response.

Last but not least important are ava, uvu and tape; they are a really light and fast test runners.
-
Vitest is a close competitor to Jest, it's faster and younger than jest, and it use vite under the hood to work, so for pure Node.js apps (100% backend) could have some caveats with ES modules.

Mocha is a test runner, Chai is an assertion library, Sinon is a mocking library, this normally the combination you would need to use if you choose mocha, but there are others.

Sonar
Write Clean JavaScript Code. Always.. Sonar helps you commit clean code every time. With over 300 unique rules to find JavaScript bugs, code smells & vulnerabilities, Sonar finds the issues while you focus on the work.
-
Pactum is quite powerful allowing different kind of E2E tests, you pass the base URL to make a request and assert over the response, it has more assertion functions than supertest and also supports GraphQL
-
chai-http adds the capability to make HTTP requests to Chai while keep using the assertion functions from Chai

Jest is a test framework because it already includes the test runner, assertion and mocking functions, it's quite popular because you don't need to wire anything to start executing tests, but it has some caveats
