Framework Selection

Language	Recommended	Alternatives	Best For
TypeScript/JS	Jest	Vitest, Mocha	React, Node.js, Next.js
Python	Pytest	unittest, nose2	Django, Flask, FastAPI
Java	JUnit 5	TestNG	Spring, Android
Vite projects	Vitest	Jest	Modern Vite-based apps

TypeScript/JavaScript

Jest Configuration

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  preset: 'ts-jest',
  testEnvironment: 'node',
  testMatch: ['**/*.test.ts'],
  collectCoverageFrom: ['src/**/*.ts'],
  coverageThreshold: {
    global: { branches: 80, lines: 80 }
  }
};

Jest Test Pattern

describe('Calculator', () => {
  let calc: Calculator;

  beforeEach(() => {
    calc = new Calculator();
  });

  it('should add two numbers', () => {
    expect(calc.add(2, 3)).toBe(5);
  });

  it('should throw on invalid input', () => {
    expect(() => calc.add(null, 3)).toThrow('Invalid input');
  });
});

Vitest Configuration

// vitest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    globals: true,
    environment: 'node',
    coverage: { provider: 'c8' }
  }
});

Coverage Tools

• Istanbul/nyc: Traditional coverage
• c8: Native V8 coverage (faster)
• Vitest built-in: Integrated with test runner

Python

Pytest Configuration

# pytest.ini
[pytest]
testpaths = tests
python_files = test_*.py
python_functions = test_*
addopts = --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing

Pytest Test Pattern

import pytest
from calculator import Calculator

class TestCalculator:
    @pytest.fixture
    def calc(self):
        return Calculator()

    def test_add_positive_numbers(self, calc):
        assert calc.add(2, 3) == 5

    def test_add_raises_on_invalid_input(self, calc):
        with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="Invalid input"):
            calc.add(None, 3)

    @pytest.mark.parametrize("a,b,expected", [
        (1, 2, 3),
        (-1, 1, 0),
        (0, 0, 0),
    ])
    def test_add_various_inputs(self, calc, a, b, expected):
        assert calc.add(a, b) == expected

Coverage Tools

• coverage.py: Standard Python coverage
• pytest-cov: Pytest plugin wrapper
• Report formats: HTML, XML, LCOV

Java

JUnit 5 Configuration (Maven)

<!-- pom.xml -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
    <version>5.9.3</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
    <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.10</version>
</plugin>

JUnit 5 Test Pattern

import org.junit.jupiter.api.*;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*;

class CalculatorTest {
    private Calculator calc;

    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() {
        calc = new Calculator();
    }

    @Test
    @DisplayName("should add two positive numbers")
    void testAddPositive() {
        assertEquals(5, calc.add(2, 3));
    }

    @Test
    @DisplayName("should throw on null input")
    void testAddThrowsOnNull() {
        assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class,
            () -> calc.add(null, 3));
    }

    @ParameterizedTest
    @CsvSource({"1,2,3", "-1,1,0", "0,0,0"})
    void testAddVarious(int a, int b, int expected) {
        assertEquals(expected, calc.add(a, b));
    }
}

Coverage Tools

• JaCoCo: Standard Java coverage
• Cobertura: Alternative XML format
• Report formats: HTML, XML, CSV
