Reviewer scorecard
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
“Vitest is replacing Jest as the default test runner. Speed and modern JavaScript support drive the migration.”
