npm i jest --save-dev

Once the Jest package is installed procced to your package.json file and navigate to: "scripts" > "test" changing it to jest --watchAll. Your scripts should look like:

"scripts": {
    "test": "jest --watchAll"
  },

With --watchAll Jest will watch for code changes and rerun tests whenver a code change is made and saved. If this feature is not desired remove the --watchAll flag.
Tests can be written and organized based on their type within the tests directory under the appropriate directory/sub-directory.
To execute your tests open up a terminal within the project and run:

npm test

Jest will run all test suites and display a pass or fail result in the terminal.
