SuperTest

SuperTest is a Node.js library for testing HTTP servers by providing a high-level abstraction for HTTP assertions with a fluent API built on SuperAgent. Maintained by the Forward Email / ladjs open source organization, SuperTest allows developers to pass any http.Server or Express/Koa application and test HTTP requests and responses with chained assertions. It is widely used with Mocha, Jest, and other JavaScript testing frameworks for integration and end-to-end API testing.
