Better Node Test

Better Node Test (BNT) is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to streamline the usage of Node.js's native `node --test` runner. It significantly enhances the testing workflow by providing out-of-the-box support for TypeScript, a convenient `-t` shortcut for filtering and running specific tests by name, and integrated code coverage analysis through the `--coverage` flag. The current stable version is 0.8.4, with releases showing a consistent cadence of minor and patch updates, often addressing compatibility with evolving Node.js features like `strip-types` and robust coverage reporting. BNT differentiates itself by leveraging Node.js's built-in testing capabilities, minimizing reliance on additional third-party test runners, while adding essential developer conveniences like automatic TypeScript compilation and comprehensive coverage reporting tailored for modern Node.js environments.
