  1. mocha

    ☕️ simple, flexible, fun javascript test framework for node.js & the browser

    Jest is a JavaScript runtime developed by Facebook that is usually used for testing. Because Jest is designed primarily for testing React applications, using it to test Node.js server-side applications comes with a lot of caveats. We strongly recommend using a different testing framework, like Mocha.

  3. ts-jest

    A Jest transformer with source map support that lets you use Jest to test projects written in TypeScript.

    ts-jest has had some strange performance issues and workarounds in the past, though I haven’t used it very recently so it might have fixed those by now.

  4. jest

    Delightful JavaScript Testing.
