## What it is
jasmine-node integrates the Jasmine BDD spec framework (version 1) with Node.js, letting you run describe/it specs from the command line. It is now in maintenance mode, with the official 'jasmine' or 'jasmine-npm' packages recommended instead.

## Use cases
- run jasmine bdd specs in node.js
- test javascript code with describe and it blocks
- run tests written in coffeescript or literate coffeescript
- run a single spec suite with ddescribe or iit
- get growl notifications when tests finish
- run tests from the command line with a teamcity reporter

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy project already using jasmine-node
- you need jasmine 1.x behavior with ddescribe/iit support
- your specs are written in CoffeeScript or Literate CoffeeScript

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Node.js project - use the official jasmine or jasmine-npm package
- you need modern Jasmine 2+ features
- you need support for Node.js versions beyond 10/12

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, developer-tools, backend
- platform: cli
- tags: bdd, jasmine, spec-framework, coffee-script, test-runner, nodejs
