Jasmine is a behavior-driven development (BDD) testing framework for JavaScript that runs in browsers and Node.js. It provides a clean describe/it syntax with built-in assertions, spies, and mocks, with no external dependencies.

Use cases

• write unit tests for javascript code
• test node.js applications with bdd style
• run browser tests for websites
• test javascript without external dependencies
• behavior driven development testing
• spy on and mock javascript functions in tests

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included testing framework with assertions and mocking built in
• you need the same framework to test both browser and Node.js code
• you prefer BDD-style describe/it syntax without magic or transpilation

When to avoid

• you need snapshot testing or a rich plugin ecosystem like Jest offers
• your project already uses another test runner and you only need an assertion library
• you want built-in code coverage reporting
