SuperTest is a Node.js library for testing HTTP servers using a fluent, chainable API built on top of superagent. It provides high-level HTTP assertions that work with any test framework and can bind servers to ephemeral ports automatically.
Use cases
- test express endpoints with assertions
- write integration tests for node.js http servers
- assert response status headers and body in mocha
- test rest apis without managing ports
- make http requests with cookies in tests
- test http2 endpoints
When to choose
- you are testing node.js HTTP servers or frameworks like express or koa
- you want fluent chainable assertions that work with any test runner
- you want automatic ephemeral port binding so you don't track ports
When to avoid
- you are testing browser frontends rather than HTTP servers
- you need load or performance testing rather than functional assertions
- you are testing non-node.js backends
