> To ensure that your tests run with both `jest` and `mocha`, start a test server with `cds.test(...)` inside a `describe` block of the test.

You can use Mocha-style `before/after` or Jest-style `beforeAll/afterAll` in your tests, as well as the common `describe, test, it` methods. In addition, to be portable, you should use the [Chai Assertion Library's](#chai) variant of `expect`.

Run them with `npm run jest` or with `npm run mocha`.
