“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
“Vitest is replacing Jest as the default test runner. Speed and modern JavaScript support drive the migration.”
