What is the Jasmine test framework?
Why Jasmine?
Jasmine is a JavaScript testing framework that supports a software development practice called Behaviour Driven Development that plays very well with Karma.

It’s a specific flavor of Test Driven Development (TDD).

Jasmine is also dependency-free and doesn’t require a DOM.

Jasmine provides a rich set of pre-defined matchers - default set of matchers
1.      expect(number).toBeGreaterThan(number);
2.      expect(number).toBeLessThan(number);
3.      expect(array).toContain(member);
4.      expect(array).toBeArray();
5.      expect(fn).toThrow(string);
6.      expect(fn).toThrowError(string);
7.      expect(instance).toBe(instance); represents the exact equality (===) operator.
8.      expect(mixed).toBeDefined();
9.      expect(mixed).toBeFalsy();
10.  expect(mixed).toBeNull();
11.  expect(mixed).toBeTruthy();
12.  expect(mixed).toBeUndefined();
13.   expect(mixed).toEqual(mixed);   represents the regular equality (==) operator.
14.  expect(mixed).toMatch(pattern);  calls the RegExp match() method behind the scenes to compare string data.
15.  expect(number).toBeCloseTo(number, decimalPlaces);
16.  expect(number).toBeNaN();
17.  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
18.  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(number);
19.  expect(date).toBeAfter(otherDate);
20.  expect(date).toBeBefore(otherDate);
21.  expect(date).toBeDate();
22.  expect(date).toBeValidDate();
23.  expect(object).toHaveDate(memberName);
24.  expect(object).toHaveDateAfter(memberName, date);
25.  expect(object).toHaveDateBefore(memberName, date);
26.  expect(regexp).toBeRegExp();
27.  expect(string).toBeEmptyString();
28.  expect(string).toBeHtmlString();
29.  expect(string).toBeIso8601();
30.  expect(string).toBeJsonString();
31.  expect(string).toBeLongerThan();
32.  expect(string).toBeString();

Default set of Asymmetric Matchers-
1.      jasmine.any(Constructor);
2.      jasmine.anything(mixed);
3.      jasmine.arrayContaining(mixed);
4.      jasmine.objectContaining(mixed);
5.      jasmine.stringMatching(pattern);

Lest see the testing example for AppComponent and it look like this.
import { TestBedasync } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

describe('AppComponent', () => {
  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [
        AppComponent
      ],
    }).compileComponents();
  }));

  it('should create the app'async(() => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;
   
    expect(app).toBeTruthy();
  }));

  it(`should have as title 'app'`async(() => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;

    expect(app.title).toEqual('app');
  }));

  it('should render title in a h1 tag'async(() => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    fixture.detectChanges();
    const compiled = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement;

    expect(compiled.querySelector('h1').textContent).toContain('Welcome to app!');
  }));
});
