Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“In an era of AI agents that can call APIs directly, do we still need a GUI for API testing? The future might be AI testing APIs autonomously.”
