- Chai built-in for assertions, with Jest expect compatible APIs.
- Smart & instant watch mode, like HMR for tests!
- Native code coverage via c8 or
istanbul. - Tinyspy built-in for mocking, stubbing, and spies.
- JSDOM and happy-dom for DOM and browser API mocking
- Components testing (Vue, React, Svelte, Lit, Vitesse)
- Workers multi-threading via Tinypool (a lightweight fork of Piscina)
- Benchmarking support with Tinybench

Vitest requires Vite >=v3.0.0 and Node >=v14.18
import { assert, describe, expect, it } 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()
})
})$ npx vitest
