You can run assertion-based unit tests by using the built-in node:assert library. This approach eliminates external dependencies, allowing you to execute tests directly through a standardized npm script.

Structure TypeScript unit tests by placing them in a shared src/tests directory. You then create an index.ts file to import all tests, compiling to dist/tests/index.js for execution.

Yes, this assertion testing approach is designed for small to mid-size JavaScript or TypeScript projects. It provides testing standards without the maintenance overhead of heavy frameworks.

Execute unit tests in CI by configuring an npm test script. This script runs your tests from the compiled dist/tests/index.js file, enabling straightforward continuous integration after building.

Using node:assert instead of a full testing framework reduces setup and maintenance overhead. It simplifies code testing by enabling simple assertion-based tests without heavy dependencies.

Using node:assert for testing TypeScript projects lacks advanced features like mocking or snapshot testing found in heavy frameworks. It is best suited for simple assertion-based tests.
