Unit Testing

| General info |
Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntax AVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently |
Lighttest is a JavaScript unit-testing library — it works both in browsers and under Node.js, supports flow control, and is focused on keeping the tests clear. Lighttest keeps tests clear by using a minimal syntax of the test cases, and the only testing function, lighttest.check(), is used to indicate a success or a failure. Any testing behaviour can be implemented using this function JavaScript natively meaning no additional testing API is required. |

xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No However Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML |
N/A
|
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava |
Yes Light Test works in the browser to test client side components and behaviours |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes Ava utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava |
Yes Light Test works with NodeJs to test back-end environments behaviours and components in short it can test any behaviour in the back-end as well as the front-end |
|
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yes Using Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures |
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. |
Yes Ava has support for group fixtures |
N/A
|
|
Generators
Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way. |

Mocks
Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed) |
AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js. |

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
No There is no support for grouping tests |
