What are Jest timeouts and how do I use them?

Jest timeouts are used to specify the maximum time a test can run before it fails. You can set them using the jest.setTimeout() function.

Can I set different timeouts for different tests?

Yes, you can set different timeouts for individual tests by passing a second argument to the test() function, like this: test('my test', myTestFunction, { timeout: 10000 }).

What happens if a test exceeds the timeout?

If a test exceeds the specified timeout, Jest will fail the test and report it as a timeout error.

Is there a default timeout value in Jest?

Yes, the default timeout value in Jest is 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds). You can change it globally using jest.setTimeout().
