The Role of Automated Testing: Automated testing is a cornerstone of modern development methodologies, aiding in identifying issues early, preventing regressions, and ensuring code correctness. It streamlines the testing process, allowing developers to focus on writing code while the tests validate its functionality. 

Jest: A Comprehensive Testing Framework: Jest is a popular testing framework built for simplicity and effectiveness. It provides an all-in-one solution for testing, including features like assertion libraries, mocking, and snapshot testing. With its intuitive syntax and zero configuration setup, Jest is an excellent choice for testing Node.js applications. 

Mocha: Flexible Testing with Options: Mocha is another popular testing framework that offers flexibility and extensibility. It provides a robust foundation for writing tests and supports various assertion libraries, making it adaptable to your preferred testing style.
