Testing JavaScript
With PhpStorm, you can run and debug JavaScript unit tests using Mocha, Karma, Jest, Protractor, and Cucumber.js.
You can see the test results in a treeview and easily navigate to the test source from there. Test status is shown next to the test in the editor with an option to quickly run or debug it:
For Jest, Karma, and Mocha you can also see a code coverage report right in PhpStorm.
Navigation
PhpStorm lets you quickly jump from the source code to the related test file with the Go to test action (Ctrl+Shift+T or ). For example, from auth.js you can jump to auth.test.js.
You can also quickly navigate through a test file using the Structure view that shows the names of the tests and suites, as well as other symbols defined in this file.
