A simplified/toy Mocha-inspired test framework.
Single file, without minifying, and no dependencies in production.
Download testease.js and drop it somewhere accessible to your project.
'use strict'
import { describe, it, reporter } from './testease.js'
async function selfExam () {
describe('Testease Framework')
await it('is simple and familiar enough', async function () {
return true
}, 6900)
const results = await reporter()
return results
}
selfExam().then((result) => {
console.log(result)
})For more see the source code in testease.js, and related tests in self-exam.js.
Describe what is going to be tested. For creating blocks.
- label - required; Shown in test results.
A single test. The
testFuncfunction must return true to pass.
- label - required; Shown in test results.
- testFunc - required; A single test as a func; must return true to pass.
- timeout - optional; Millisecond timeout of async testFunc. Default = -1, disabled.

- timeout - optional; ms timeout of async testFunc. Default = -1, disabled.
Test results are built up by running tests. This adds on the time taken from tests starting to reporter being called, and calculates the percentage passed for "N% passed (N passed/N total)".
- no args
Returns the results as a string.
A few years ago while using Mocha I got frustrated and annoyed by it repeatedly. So, I wanted to see if I could make something with no dependencies that is lighter, faster, and easier to use. The original testease was faster and lighter even with the overhead of instrumenting the code. It was also hard to maintain or debug. In the years since I've built a few more basic test frameworks, first in Bash and later in JS, which slowly circled back to this again.
-
Bash
- Earliest version made on mobile thanks to UserLAnd & Ubuntu Linux.
- Later version, similar enough to JS.
-
JS
