Backend Testing is the process of testing the server-side of software, applications, and web services. It aims to ensure the proper processing and management of data by verifying databases, servers, APIs, and other backend components. Backend testing helps prevent bugs, enhance application performance, and guarantee high-quality output.
Jest is a JavaScript testing framework designed for simplicity. It enables you to craft tests using an easy-to-understand API that delivers quick results. Jest comes with comprehensive documentation, minimal setup, and can be customized to suit your needs.
Serverless refers to a cloud computing model where the cloud provider handles server allocation and provisioning dynamically. In this model, applications run in stateless, event-triggered containers that are temporary and fully managed by the provider. Serverless architecture boosts productivity, simplifies systems, and cuts operational costs.
