Testing and debugging tools

Testing and debugging tools are also critical components in the software development life cycle, ensuring that code functions correctly and meets quality standards. These tools help identify issues early in the development process, ultimately saving time and resources by addressing potential problems before they escalate. In this section, we will explore various testing and debugging tools and their features, advantages, and limitations, with a focus on how they can enhance your development workflow.

Jest

Jest is a widely used testing framework developed by Christoph Nakazawa, now Meta, but is an open source project with many developers. It’s particularly popular among JavaScript developers. It provides a comprehensive testing solution for JavaScript applications, focusing on simplicity and ease of use. Jest is especially favored for testing React applications, but it can also be used with other frameworks and libraries.
