vim-test is a flexible testing runner for Vim and Neovim that provides a unified interface to execute tests across many languages and frameworks from inside the editor. It abstracts differences between tools so you can run nearest test, current file, last test, or entire suite with consistent commands and mappings. The plugin auto-detects supported test frameworks based on project files and adapts its strategy accordingly. Output can be shown in splits, quickfix, or dispatched to external runners, and it integrates smoothly with asynchronous job systems for non-blocking runs. You can configure custom strategies to run tests via terminal, tmux panes, Neovim terminals, or background dispatchers. Its design encourages tight feedback loops, making test-driven workflows natural in Vim.
