General info

Atata is a C# / .NET test automation framework for web

Atata is an open source test framework that uses fluent object pattern. It consists of the following concepts: components (controls and page objects), attributes of the control search, settings attributes, triggers, verification attributes and methods

This library was designed to work for both Node.js and browser interpreters and it encourages the TDD (Test Driven Development)

Test doubles can be used with conjuction of other test frameworks such as Jasmine, Jest, Chai, QUnit, Mocha, Tape etc.

Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser

Yes

Atata is based on selenium and is used for browser automation. You can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours

No

Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code

No

Yes

Testdouble is primarily used to test server-side functions, behaviours and components
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test

N/A

Group fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests.
