Jest VSCode Plugin

When writing tests for your application, it can be tedious and distracting to switch between the terminal and IDE to execute tests and verify that all tests are passing. What if there was a more streamlined approach that simply displayed the results of tests directly within the IDE, with each result (passing or failing) adjacent to its corresponding test? If you are writing tests using the Jest framework, and your IDE of choice is VSCode, then there is a plugin in the VSCode marketplace that automatically runs tests and shows individual test results inline. Getting this immediate feedback within the editor improves productivity and reduces context switching.
