## What it is
Midje is a testing framework for Clojure that offers a readable, fact-based style of writing tests and a migration path from clojure.test. It supports top-down development, prepackaged checkers, and tight REPL-driven workflows with automatic test reloading.

## Use cases
- write readable tests in clojure
- migrate from clojure.test to a more expressive test framework
- do top-down test-driven development in clojure
- run tests automatically on file changes while working in the repl
- use prebuilt checkers for common assertions

## When to choose
- you want more readable and abstract tests than clojure.test provides
- you prefer a repl-centric, watch-and-rerun testing workflow
- you need mocking/checkers and top-down TDD support in Clojure

## When to avoid
- your team is standardized on clojure.test and doesn't want a new style
- you need a framework with very recent active development
- you're not working in the Clojure/JVM ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, mocking
- domain: testing, developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting
- tags: clojure, test-framework, tdd, repl-driven-development, checkers
