How do I run a single test using Jest?

You can also use f or x to focus or exclude a test. For example

fit('only this test will run', () => {
   expect(true).toBe(false);
});

it('this test will not run', () => {
   expect(true).toBe(false);
});

xit('this test will be ignored', () => {
   expect(true).toBe(false);
});
