Jest

Jest vs Mocha: which is better for Node testing?

The question is about Jest .

Answer:

Jest provides powerful testing out of the box, with built-in assertion libraries and mocking. It’s easy to set up in most Node.js environments. Mocha is more flexible, allowing developers to pair it with other assertion libraries (like Chai) and custom strategies, making it well suited to complex scenarios. Jest is the go-to for simplicity and speed, while Mocha excels in custom Node.js test setups.
