On: A little bit of plain JavaScript can do a lot

What sort of automated test framework do folks use while writing vanilla JS?

I use AVA[1] and c8[2] for coverage. It only works in node so I have to use JSDOM to mimic the browser environment.

If I need tests I usually reach for the same tools I’d use for testing any other JS—in my case mocha, chai, and nyc—plus jsdom and jsdom-global (so I don’t have to spin up a browser for unit tests) and chai-dom.
