Sorry-cypress vs Jest: What are the differences?
Developers describe Sorry-cypress as "An open-source alternative to Cypress dashboard *". It is an open-source, on-premise, self-hosted alternative to Cypress dashboard. On the other hand, *Jest** is detailed as "Painless JavaScript Unit Testing". Jest provides you with multiple layers on top of Jasmine.
Sorry-cypress and Jest can be primarily classified as "Javascript Testing Framework" tools.
Some of the features offered by Sorry-cypress are:
- Run cypress tests in parallel with no limitations
- Upload screenshots and videos to your own storage
- Browse test results, screenshots and video recordings
On the other hand, Jest provides the following key features:
- Familiar Approach: Built on top of the Jasmine test framework, using familiar expect(value).toBe(other) assertions
- Mock by Default: Automatically mocks CommonJS modules returned by require(), making most existing code testable
- Short Feedback Loop: DOM APIs are mocked and tests run in parallel via a small node.js command line utility
Jest is an open source tool with 33K GitHub stars and 4.73K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Jest's open source repository on GitHub.

What are some alternatives to Jest and Sorry-cypress?
Mocha
Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on node.js and the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. Mocha tests run serially, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting, while mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases.
Selenium
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
AVA
Even though JavaScript is single-threaded, IO in Node.js can happen in parallel due to its async nature. AVA takes advantage of this and runs your tests concurrently, which is especially beneficial for IO heavy tests. In addition, test files are run in parallel as separate processes, giving you even better performance and an isolated environment for each test file.
Enzyme
Enzyme is a JavaScript Testing utility for React that makes it easier to assert, manipulate, and traverse your React Components' output.
Jasmine
Jasmine is a Behavior Driven Development testing framework for JavaScript. It does not rely on browsers, DOM, or any JavaScript framework. Thus it's suited for websites, Node.js projects, or anywhere that JavaScript can run.
