Ashes to Ashes, Specs to Specs: To Vitest & Beyond
19
May
While tools like Jasmine, Karma, and Jest were always there when we needed them for testing our Angular apps, it's time to move on. In this talk, we'll revisit the battle scars they left behind, and explore how Vitest isn't just trendier — it's the result of hard-earned lessons in speed, reliability, and developer experience.
You'll leave with:
A sense of closure for the old stack.
A tour of the modern features Vitest brings to the table.
Vitest migration recipes.
Clarity on “Partial” vs. “Full” Browser Mode.
The anatomy of a maintainable test: Fakes, Object Mothers, and patterns that future-proof your specs.
Zoneless-ready time travel: replacing fakeAsync.
Come for the nostalgia. Stay for the clarity. Leave ready to cook.
