## 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
```javascript
// 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
```typescript
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
```typescript
// 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
```ini
# pytest.ini
[pytest]
testpaths = tests
python_files = test_*.py
python_functions = test_*
addopts = --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing
```
### Pytest Test Pattern
```python
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)
```xml
org.junit.jupiter
junit-jupiter
5.9.3
test
org.jacoco
jacoco-maven-plugin
0.8.10
```
### JUnit 5 Test Pattern
```java
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
