Implements robust unit testing patterns using Jest for JavaScript and Node.js applications.
This skill provides a comprehensive framework for writing high-quality unit tests in JavaScript and Node.js environments using Jest. It guides developers through the Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA) pattern, advanced module mocking, partial spying, and asynchronous testing strategies. By enforcing best practices and identifying common anti-patterns, it helps teams build maintainable, behavior-driven test suites with optimized coverage thresholds and well-organized test structures.
