Snapshot testing is a form of software testing that is focused on visual components by highlighting any code changes when compared to a previously stored state. This quick and simple method of testing is growing popular among the industry with companies such as Spotify and Robinhood. Despite its growing popularity, snapshot testing is barely explored in academia. In this paper, we use GitHub API to collect a dataset of 686 repositories tagged with Jest, a popular testing framework capable of snapshot testing. From those repositories, we found 4,604 snapshot files and 11,367 test files. The top-10 repositories represent 20% of all snapshot files in the dataset, even though it is only 3% of the size. We acknowledge that improvements can be made in the dataset but due to the lack of data on snapshot testing, we believe the current dataset is useful in helping researchers to study this topic.
