ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jasmine (JavaScript testing framework)

Okay, so you know how sometimes you want to make sure that your toys are working the way they should be? You might check to see if a button still makes a noise or if a wheel still spins. Well, grown-up people who make computer programs and websites also want to check if their "toys" (AKA code) are working correctly.

That's where Jasmine comes in! Jasmine is like a special tool that helps grown-up people test their code. It checks to see if the code is doing what it's supposed to be doing. For example, if someone made a toy that's supposed to light up, Jasmine can check to make sure that when they press a button, the toy actually does light up.

But how does Jasmine know what to check? The grown-up person who wrote the code has to tell Jasmine what to look for. It's kind of like giving Jasmine a list of all the buttons that are supposed to make the toy light up, and then Jasmine goes through and checks all of them.

Overall, Jasmine helps grown-up people feel more confident in their code, and helps make sure that their "toys" work properly for everyone to play with!
