Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
