What is Suites?

Suites is an opinionated, flexible testing meta-framework aim at elevating the software testing experience within backend systems.

By integrating a wide array of testing tools into a cohesive framework, Suites simplifies the process of creating reliable tests, thereby ensuring the development of high-quality software. Originating from the solid foundation laid by Automock, Suites has evolved into a more comprehensive solution, aimed at addressing a broader range of testing challenges.

Supported Libraries​

Suites supports a broad spectrum of DI frameworks and testing libraries including:

✅ Dependency Injection Frameworks: NestJS, InversifyJS (TSyringe coming soon!)
✅ Mocking Libraries: Jest, Sinon, and Vitest (Bun and Deno coming soon!)

Suites as a Meta-Framework​

Suites is a meta-framework that integrates various testing libraries and tools, such as Jest, Sinon, and Vitest, with dependency injection frameworks like NestJS and InversifyJS. By combining these technologies, Suites provides a comprehensive testing solution that simplifies the process of writing, running, and managing tests for backend systems.

What is a Meta-Framework?​

A meta-framework is essentially a framework of frameworks. Unlike traditional frameworks that provide a specific set of functionalities and tools directly to the end-user, a meta-framework operates at a higher level. It integrates, orchestrates, and enhances underlying frameworks, libraries, and tools without being a direct provider of the functionality itself.
