Add a compared-testing-frameworks topic outline here

Type of problem

It may not be clear to participants when to use the various testing frameworks.

Suggested Solution

• Create a topic outline that clarifies the differences between RTL, jest, vite, super test & when to use them.
• Provide examples
• Answer the following questions
  • What is the difference between unit and integration testing?
  • What makes up a test suite?
• Leverage the information from the chart in this day doc, supertest is not in the chart
• Add a supplemental material section at the end with the following videos:
  • 🎦 Intro to Jest: Object & API Testing
  • 🎦 Jest Super Test Integration API Request Testing with volunteer Cristina Rodriguez (she/her)
• May be useful to include the following sections:
  • Questions to Consider
  • Prerequisites
  • Motivation or Real-World Application
  • Objectives
  • Common Mistakes / Misconceptions
  • Supplemental Materials

Acceptance Criteria

1. Create a compared-testing-frameworks topic outline
   The issue suggests creating a topic outline that clarifies the differences between RTL, Jest, Vitest, SuperTest, and when to use them. This outline should provide examples and address specific questions like:

   • What is the difference between unit and integration testing?
   • What makes up a test suite?

2. Add supplemental material
   Include the following videos in a supplemental materials section:

   • Intro to Jest: Object & API Testing
   • Jest Super Test Integration API Request Testing with Cristina Rodriguez

3. Leverage existing chart information
   The issue mentions leveraging information from a day doc chart, specifically noting that Supertest is not in this chart. This suggests incorporating Supertest information into the comparison outline.

4. Provide clear guidance on framework usage
   The ultimate goal is to clarify when to use each testing framework (RTL, Jest, Vitest, SuperTest). This should be clearly outlined in the topic outline.

5. Address common testing concepts
   Ensure the outline covers fundamental testing concepts like:

   • Unit testing vs Integration testing
   • Test suite composition
   • Mocking and stubbing techniques

6. Include practical examples
   Provide concrete examples demonstrating how to use each framework in different scenarios.

7. Ensure compatibility information
   Include any necessary configuration or setup steps required for each testing framework to work properly within the project environment.
