Automating Test Reporting with Vitest and Istanbul​

As part of our commitment to ensuring high-quality code, we've set up an automated testing and reporting workflow using Vitest, Istanbul, and XUnit Viewer. Here’s a quick overview of how we made that happen.

Choosing the Right Tools​

We opted for:

  • Vitest: A fast testing framework tailored for projects using Vite and TypeScript.
  • Istanbul: A comprehensive code coverage tool, ensuring detailed metrics like branch, function, and statement coverage.
  • XUnit Viewer: A simple way to convert XML test results into clean, shareable HTML reports.

Configuring Code Coverage​

Istanbul provides key insights into our test coverage, ensuring that both critical paths and edge cases are tested. We generate multiple coverage reports, including:

  • HTML for visualization.
  • Text for command-line output.
  • LCOV for deeper integration.

Generating Test Reports​

Vitest outputs JUnit-style XML reports, which we convert into readable HTML reports using XUnit Viewer. This allows for quick and easy review of test results.

Coverage Thresholds​

To ensure all code is well-tested, we enforce minimum coverage thresholds. Any code failing these checks triggers a failed build, preventing untested changes from being merged.

Looking Ahead​

This automated setup is the foundation for an even more robust continuous integration pipeline, ensuring that every piece of code is tested and meets quality standards before merging.

With this workflow, we’ve streamlined our testing and reporting, making it easier to catch issues early and maintain high-quality code.
