          What is Chai?

          It is a BDD / TDD assertion library for node and the browser that can be delightfully paired with any javascript testing framework. It has several interfaces that allow the developer to choose the most comfortable. The chain-capable BDD styles provide an expressive language & readable style, while the TDD assert style provides a more classical feel.

          What is Jest?

          Jest provides you with multiple layers on top of Jasmine.

          What is Majestic GUI?

          A GUI for Jest that allows you to run all the tests or a single file, toggle watch mode, update snapshots, and much more.
