What is Jest?
Jest is a JavaScript testing framework designed to ensure the correctness of the codebase. It is a popular tool for unit testing React components.

Jest is a JavaScript testing framework used by Facebook to test all JavaScript code, including React applications. Jest is designed to be used in conjunction with a JavaScript testing utility such as React Testing Library. There are many other JavaScript testing frameworks available, but Jest has the added benefit of being included with create-react-app.
Jest Environment
Jest is a test runner for JavaScript that comes with a virtual DOM implementation. This allows us to write tests that can run in a real browser environment. Jest is also open source and easy to set up.
Jest provides a JavaScript testing environment that can run on multiple platforms such as Node.js, React Native, and Electron.
Jest is a JavaScript testing environment that is able to run on multiple platforms such as Node.js, React Native, and Electron. Jest is widely adopted and used in many large organizations such as Facebook, Netflix, Airbnb, and more. This guide will cover how to use Jest in a React Native application.
Jest is also able to use a fake DOM implementation called jsdom which is able to run on a headless browser.
This makes it possible to run your tests without a real browser like Chrome. Jest is also able to use a fake DOM implementation called jsdom which is able to run on a headless browser. You need to set the testEnvironment option in your configuration file to “jsdom” (without quotes).
Jest 16
The Jest 16 release is here! This version includes some great new features, including a snapshot serializer for React, a better support for catching errors thrown inside React lifecycle methods, and an improvement of the watch mode. If you’re not familiar with Jest, it’s a testing tool for JavaScript that’s used by Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, among others.
Jest 16 is the current version of Jest and was released on October 25, 2016.
Jest 16 is the current version of Jest and was released on October 25, 2016. It is a minor release that includes several bug fixes and improvements.
This release includes a new feature that allows you to use wildcards when specifyiing paths for files that are to be included or excluded from coverage reports. For example, you can now use “src/*” to include all files in the src directory.
Another new feature in this release is improved support for Babel 6.0. If you are using Babel 6.0 to transpile your code, Jest will now automatically detect and use the babel-jest plugin.
As always, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of Jest as soon as possible.
Jest 16 includes a new feature called “Snapshot Testing” which allows for taking snapshots of the UI and saving them to a file.
Jest 16 includes a new feature called “Snapshot Testing” which allows for taking snapshots of the UI and saving them to a file. This makes it easy to see how the UI changes over time and to ensure that your tests are still passing.
How to Use Jest
Jest is a JavaScript test runner that lets you easily test your code. Jest is also a JavaScript testing framework designed to help you write tests that are more maintainable in the long run. Jest is also a JavaScript library for creating test cases.
To use Jest, you need to install it using either npm or yarn.
If you use npm, run the following command to install jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen:
npm install –save-dev jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen
If you use yarn, run the following command to install jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen:
yarn add –dev jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen
Once Jest is installed, you can create a test file in your project and write your tests.
Jest is a JavaScript testing framework that allows you to test your code in an easy and consistent way. You can create tests for your React components, or for your entire React application. In this guide, we will show you how to use Jest to write tests for your React application.
To get started, you will need to install Jest and the Jest React adapters. You can do this with npm:
npm install –save-dev jest react-test-renderer
Once you have installed these dependencies, you can create a test file in your project and write your tests. The file should have a .test.js extension, and it should be placed in a tests directory. For example, if you have a component named Button, you could create a Button.test.js file in your tests directory:
import React from ‘react’; import renderer from ‘react-test-renderer’; import Button from ‘./Button’;
test(‘button renders correctly’, () => { const tree = renderer .create(Save) .toJSON(); expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot(); });
In this example, we are testing that the button component renders correctly. We use the snapshot feature of Jest to take a “snapshot” of the rendered output of our component and compare it against a stored snapshot. If the two snapshots match, then our test will pass. If they don’t match, then our test will fail.
To run your tests, you can use the “jest” command.
To run your tests, you can use the “jest” command. This will launch Jest and execute all of your tests. You can also use the “–watch” flag to keep Jest running and re-run your tests whenever you make a change to your code.
To generate a coverage report, you can use the “–coverage” flag. This will create a “coverage” directory with an HTML report that shows you which lines of your code are covered by your tests.
Jest also provides a way to snapshot your component output. This is useful for making sure that your component doesn’t change unexpectedly over time. To generate a snapshot, you can use the “–snapshot” flag.
