General info |
Buster.JS is a JavaScript test framework for node and browsers.Buster.JS is a new JavaScript testing framework. It does browser testing by automating test runs in actual browsers (think JsTestDriver), as well as Node.js testing. It has a bunch of great features. |
Doctest is an inbuilt test framework for PythonDoctest is a test framework that comes prepackaged with Python. It is a simple library with a functionality that makes it possible to search for pieces of text that look like interactive Python sessions and executes these sessions to see if they work exactly as shown. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesBuster.Js is a xUnit style Test Framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesIt does browser testing with browser automation, QUnit style static HTML page testing, testing in headless browsers and more front-end components and functionality |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesIt is a Node.js testing toolkit as well which means it can test back-end behaviour and functionality as well as run in a server environment |
|
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
NoLacks fixture management which can make writing tests harder |
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. |
N/A |
NoLacks fixture management |
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) |
Buster.JS ships with Sinon.JS. every test in a test case has a sandbox associated with it, making it easy to mock and stub |
A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesOne can group tests |
