Module: Unit Testing

Unit testing is a fundamental practice in software development where individual units of code (typically functions, methods, or classes) are tested in isolation to verify they work as expected. This module covers unit testing principles and practical implementation using Jest, a popular testing framework for TypeScript and JavaScript applications.
