Vitest
Next generation testing framework powered by Vite

Vitest is a Vite-native JavaScript testing framework designed to work seamlessly with Vite projects by reusing its config and transform pipelines. It offers Jest compatibility, smart watch mode, and out-of-the-box support for ESM, TypeScript, and JSX. It can also be used independently of Vite for backend code.
Vitest integrates directly with Vite's config and plugin system to run tests using the same resolve and transform pipelines as the application.
