• Chai built-in for assertions, with Jest expect compatible APIs.
• Smart & instant watch mode, like HMR for tests!
• Native code coverage via c8
• Tinyspy built-in for mocking, stubbing, and spies.
• JSDOM and happy-dom for DOM and browser API mocking
• Components testing (Vue, React, Lit, Vitesse)
• Workers multi-threading via tinypool (a lightweight fork of Piscina)
• ESM first, top level await
• Out-of-box TypeScript / JSX support
• Filtering, timeouts, concurrent for suite and tests

import { it, describe, expect, assert } from 'vitest'

describe('suite name', () => {
  it('foo', () => {
    expect(1 + 1).toEqual(2)
    expect(true).to.be.true
  })

  it('bar', () => {
    assert.equal(Math.sqrt(4), 2)
  })

  it('snapshot', () => {
    expect({ foo: 'bar' }).toMatchSnapshot()
  })
})
