Jest vs Jasmine comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Jest and Jasmine?

	Jest https://jestjs.io	Jasmine https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing
General info	A Unit Testing framework focused on simplicity This is a Unit test framwork especially designed for the React.JS, Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular and Vue projects. It usually worked with Enzyme(Integration testing)	JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runner It's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can easily test methods, properties, UI element actions and other front-end functionalities	Yes Jasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end server behaviour also can be tested with Jest much in the same way as the front-end tests.	Yes Jasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures are supported, Jest has many helper functions such as: BeforeEach and afterEach If you have some work you need to do repeatedly for many tests, beforeAll and afterAll if you only need to do setup once, at the beginning of a file.	Yes By using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures
Group fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests.	Yes Jest supports group fixtures	N/A
Generators Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
Mocks Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed)	Jest uses a custom resolver for imports in your tests making it simple to mock any object outside of your test’s scope. You can use mocked imports with the rich Mock Functions API to spy on function calls with readable test syntax.	By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can declare as many test suites as you want. Grouping of tests together is done using a describe block	Yes Using the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level.
