Ashes to Ashes, Specs to Specs: A Farewell to Old Testing Tools
Conference (INTERMEDIATE level)
Room 2
While tools like Jasmine, Karma, and Jest were always there when we needed them, it’s time to move on.
In this talk, we’ll revisit the battle scars they left behind — like the hours spent forcing things to just work with the tests — and explore how tools like Vitest aren’t just trendier. They’re the result of hard-earned lessons in speed, reliability, and developer experience.

- A tour of the modern features Vitest brings to the table.
- A migration path to Vitest.
- Concrete patterns that future-proof your Angular tests.
