Why You Should Use Puppeteer For Testing

Over the past decade the world has seen emergence of powerful Javascripts based webapps, while new frameworks evolved. These frameworks challenged issues that had long been associated with crippling the website performance. Interactive UI elements, seamless speed, and impressive styling components, have started co-existing within a website and that also without compromising the speed heavily. CSS and HTML is now injected into JS instead of vice versa because JS is simply more efficient. While the use of these JavaScript frameworks have boosted the performance, it has taken a toll on the testers.

What does JavaScript assert mean?

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/33685

Hi,

The assert() method is commonly used for testing and debugging purposes in JavaScript. It checks a given condition (in this case, function1() && function2() && function3()) and throws an error if the condition evaluates to false.

This allows developers to catch issues during development by ensuring that certain conditions are met.

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/33685

Many testing libraries and frameworks, such as Mocha or Chai, implement their own assert() function. When used in these contexts, it serves to validate that the expected outcomes of functions are true. If the assertion fails, it typically provides a specified error message, which can help identify what went wrong.

https://community.lambdatest.com/t/33685

In the given code snippet, the assert() function checks if all three functions (function1(), function2(), and function3()) return truthy values. If any of them return a falsy value, the assertion fails, and “some text” will be displayed as the error message. This aids in debugging by clearly stating the failure condition.
