Problem Statement
This project aims to implement NetSuite Jest Unit Testing Framework on SuiteScript.
Jest is a JavaScript testing framework designed to ensure the correctness of any JavaScript codebase (Frontend and Backend). It allows you to write tests with an approachable, familiar, and feature-rich API that gives you results quickly.
Jest is well-documented, requires little configuration, and can be extended to match your requirements.
Business Benefit
- The 'Easy-to-use' tag can be used to define Jest, as it is the simplest testing framework. It is effortless to learn, use, and practice
- It's a battery-included framework with built-in features for standard functionalities, so you don't have to add third-party plug-ins and external libraries
- With Jest, you can significantly reduce the test runtime to almost one-thrice, comparing how much it takes to run local tests on Mocha
- It runs multiple isolated tests in parallel, which enhances the test performance
- Jest is CPU-bound, which cuts short a significant time in test runs
