This package provides TypeScript definitions for Sinon.js, a popular JavaScript testing utility that provides standalone test spies, stubs, and mocks. It enables developers to write robust and reliable unit tests by simplifying the process of isolating and verifying the behavior of individual components. These type definitions offer static typing benefits, enhancing code maintainability and catching potential errors early in development by ensuring type safety when using Sinon within TypeScript projects.
