Async/Await vs Promises in Tests

What are the main differences between async/await and promises in JavaScript?

Async/await is syntactic sugar over promises, making asynchronous code easier to read and write. Promises are objects that represent the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation.

When should I use async/await instead of promises?

Use async/await when you want cleaner, more readable code, especially when dealing with multiple asynchronous operations in sequence.

Can you give me an example of using async/await in a test?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

it('fetches data', async () => {
  const data = await fetchData();
  expect(data).toBeDefined();
});

What are some common pitfalls when using async/await in tests?

Common pitfalls include forgetting to use 'await', which can lead to unhandled promise rejections, and not handling errors properly.
