Question

What are the advantages of Jest over Jasmine?

Answer 1

There are couple of advantages compared to Jasmine:

• Automatically finds tests to execute in your source code.
• Automatically mocks dependencies when running your tests.
• Allows you to test asynchronous code synchronously.
• Runs your tests with a fake DOM implementation (via jsdom) so that your tests can be run on the command line.
• Runs tests in parallel processes so that they finish sooner.
