Zombie.js is a lightweight framework for testing client-side JavaScript code in a simulated environment. It allows automation of tasks like verifying functional requirements, load testing, and checking databases. Zombie.js runs quickly, is easy to use and understand, supports promises and mainstream test frameworks, and does not require an IDE. It provides APIs for managing the DOM, forms, browser state, and events to simulate user interactions and test JavaScript code in a headless browser environment.
