Pros:
- Built from the Facebook development team (same as React).
- One of the most popular frameworks in the React community.
- can be enhanced with https://github.com/testing-library/react-testing-library.
Cons:
- not meant for pure node or backend testing.
- requires mocking components.
Mocha
Pros:
- Very popular framework
- Works very well with both browser and node.js apps.
Cons:
- Usually requires other external libraries to work as intented (a common one being https://github.com/chaijs/chai)
- requires mocking components.
React testing library
Pros:
- Specifically tailored for react.
Cons:
- Less suited for non react testing.
- usually paired with other testing frameworks.
As the codebase grows, we need to increase the amount of features we're testing. Cypress is good for testing user interactions with the Dashboard but tests requires a browser (headless) and are typically slow. To improve the test coverage without impacting the test performances some unit testing would be required
