A Sane Frontend Testing Setup
How to test components and utilities without drowning in configuration.

Test the contract, not the implementation
Good tests describe behavior a user (or another module) relies on.
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
describe("formatPrice", () => {
it("adds a currency symbol", () => {
expect(formatPrice(1200)).toBe("$1,200");
});
});Keep the fast unit tests close to the code and reserve slower end-to-end runs for critical flows.
