+### When should I use Jest over Karma?
+
+If you need to update an existing Karma test file (found in `spec/javascripts`), you do not
+need to migrate the whole spec to Jest. Simply updating the Karma spec to test your change
+is fine. It is probably more appropriate to migrate to Jest in a separate merge request.
+
+If you need to create a new test file, we strongly recommend creating one in Jest. This will
+help support our migration and we think you'll love using Jest.
+
+As always, please use discretion. Jest solves a lot of issues we experienced in Karma and
+provides a better developer experience, however there are potentially unexpected issues
+which could arise (especially with testing against browser specific features).
