Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“New Architecture with Fabric renderer eliminates the old bridge bottleneck. Performance is now genuinely native-grade.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“The new architecture was worth the wait. React Native with Expo is the best cross-platform mobile development experience.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“React Native's new architecture and Expo's tooling make it the clear winner for cross-platform mobile development.”
