What is Jest?

Jest is crafted to function effortlessly without any setup for most JavaScript projects. It simplifies the process of monitoring extensive objects through various tests. Snapshots may either be kept alongside the tests or integrated directly within them for convenience. To boost efficiency, tests are run in separate processes, allowing for concurrent execution. By ensuring each test has its own unique global state, Jest guarantees dependable parallel execution. Furthermore, Jest focuses on previously failed tests and rearranges the order of execution based on how long test files take, thus accelerating the overall testing procedure. Its custom resolver also makes it easier to mock external objects within tests, contributing to a more streamlined testing workflow. In addition, Jest's user-friendly features significantly enhance productivity and accessibility for developers engaged in JavaScript application development. The combination of these functionalities makes Jest a popular choice among developers seeking efficient testing solutions.
