Libraries to Consider

Testing

Sinon - General purpose testing library, gives spies and stubs/mocks as well as fake timers, XHR, and servers.

Barrels - DB fixture loading for Waterline with associations, so we can pre-populate a test DB (probably in memory) with some data.

Supertest - testing library for HTTP requests

Sockets

Socket.io Redis - Redis for socket sessions
