karma

RE: 2. Jest bundles Jasmine. It's primarily a test runner (like karma[1]) more than a framework. Jest includes mocking capabilities at the function level (like sinon[2]) and module level (like rewire[3]). It supports parallel execution, custom source code transpiling, file extension mocks (for webpack requires) and file watching. It favors large ES6 projects -- takes a second to start up.

Here are clickable links since I couldn't get them to work in the text post. Download to the thesis as a PDF: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/raw/master/thesis.pdf The Karma site: https://karma-runner.github.io/0.13/index.html

Came across this as I was going through Karma's documentation. It's Vojta's thesis that led to the development of Karma. https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/raw/master/thesis.pdf It's an interesting way to learn more about testing and the ideas/technology behind a tool that many of us use everyday. You can read more about Karma here: https://karma-runner.github.io/0.13/index.html

Testacular is now called Karma if anybody has trouble finding the project: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/issues/376

And here is where the decision was made to rename it: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/issues/376
