Nuxt makes end-to-end testing very easy and fun by using the AVA and jsdom Node.js modules together. But before implementing and combining them for the tests in a Nuxt app, let's dive into each of these Node.js modules to see how they work separately so you have a solid basic understanding of these tools. Let's start with jsdom in the next section.
jsdom
In a nutshell, jsdom is a JavaScript-based implementation of the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) for Node.js. But, what does it mean? What do we need it for? Imagine you need to manipulate DOM from a raw HTML on the server side in a Node.js app, such as Express and Koa apps, but there is no DOM on the server side and hence there isn't much you can do. This is when jsdom comes to our rescue. It turns the raw HTML into a DOM fragment that works like the DOM on the client side, but inside Node.js. And then, you can use a client-side JavaScript library such as jQuery to manipulate the DOM on Node.js...
