“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“WebContainers running Node.js in the browser is technical magic. Perfect for bug reproductions, tutorials, and quick experiments.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“The technology is genuinely impressive. Running Node.js in a browser tab without a server is revolutionary.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“Browser-based development will become the default for many workflows. StackBlitz's WebContainers are the enabling technology.”
