Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
