Virtual isolated environment. Creates a sandboxed context for tests to run without side effects.
Automated mock generation. Generates mocks for classes and services automatically.
DI framework support. Works with NestJS and Inversify out of the box.
Open-source. Free to use and contributed by the community.

AwaiEvent. Promise-like events that can be awaited repeatedly, replacing traditional event listeners.
Scenarios. Helper to describe complex event sequences using async functions.
State Nodes. Define reactive state with `state` and update it via `action` functions.
Race-condition handling. Built-in mechanisms to manage concurrent async operations safely.
Dependency-free. Works without external libraries, keeping bundle size minimal.
