Riteway is a JavaScript unit testing assertion library and test runner that enforces a simple, readable, explicit test style based on the '5 questions every unit test must answer'. It also includes a CLI for writing AI agent prompt evaluations, positioning itself as the testing framework for AI Driven Development.

Use cases

• write readable unit tests for javascript functions
• run unit tests with a simple tap-based test runner
• evaluate ai agent prompts as test suites
• structure tests for ai-driven development workflows
• reduce boilerplate in test assertions
• pair a minimal assertion style with vitest or playwright

When to choose

• you want minimal, highly readable unit tests in javascript
• you are practicing AI-driven development and want tests AI agents can easily understand
• you prefer TAP output and tape-compatible tooling
• you need to write prompt evaluations for AI agents

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured framework with mocks, snapshots, and rich plugins out of the box
• your team is standardized on jest, mocha, or vitest APIs
• you are not writing JavaScript or Node.js projects
