Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Long-running jobs up to 24 hours solve the AI agent execution problem. The v3 architecture is built for modern workloads.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“v3 addresses the key limitation — jobs that need to run for hours, not just seconds. Essential for AI agent tasks.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“Long-running, durable background jobs are the infrastructure AI agents need. Trigger.dev v3 delivers exactly this.”
