We’ve had a lot of issues with Karma and Protractor in a very large application so we eventually migrated to Cypress and Jest which is interesting because that’s where you came from. What are your thoughts about Karma vs Jest? I would exclude Jasmina because you can use the same test structure also with Jest.

I'm using karma because comes by default with Angular, but these are 3 missing points from Jest
1- Jest is faster (of course don't need a browser)
2- Jest configuration is easy.
3-Debug and run with VSCode.

I will finish my process with Karma, maybe I will try looking how to migrate to move my tests to Jest :D
