Siesta

Siesta is a stress-free, ubiquitous, open-source JavaScript/TypeScript testing tool, developed at Bryntum starting from the 2009.

Version 6 is a complete rewrite, using a modern technology stack and the decade of test driven development experience.

Main features:

  • One test tool to run them all. Siesta can run tests in browsers, Node.js and Deno environments.
  • Supports parallel execution
  • Provides accurate and well-formatted deep diff for equality assertion

Siesta powers the test suites of all Bryntum products and thousands of our clients.

Supported target environments

Siesta can run the test in browsers, Node.js and Deno.

Siesta supports modern, ever-green browsers only - Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge Chromium. IE and legacy Edge are not supported.

Siesta supports all maintained LTS releases of Node.js.

Siesta supports the latest release of Deno.
