JavaScript Kicks - JSK Weekly - 24 January, 2024

Jest is a batteries-included framework. Due to its fully-featured nature and large surface area, we can compare it to test runners (Mocha), assertion libraries (Chai, ShouldJS, power-assert, expect.js), integrated test-runner + assertion libraries (QUnit, Protractor, Tape, AVA, Jasmine), stubbing libraries (Sinon), module interception libraries (Proxyquire), coverage tools (NYC, Istanbul). Want to know more about why you should use Jest? Check out "What is Jest and why should I use it?" for the details.

Other popular stories this week include "Top 8 JavaScript Notification Libraries" on Syncfusion, "WebKit Features in Safari 17.3" and "Developing Scalable Frontends with Feature-Sliced Design (FSD)" on Bits and Pieces.
