Chai vs Fixie comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Chai and Fixie?

	Chai https://www.chaijs.com	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/
Programming language	JavaScript	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Chai is a BDD / TDD assertion library for Node.js and the browser that can be paired with any JavaScript testing framework. Chai is an assertion library, similar to Node's built-in assert and makes testing easier by giving you many assertions you can run against your code. It also includes a robust Plugin architecture for extending Chai's assertions and interfaces.	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Chai can be used in a browser environment to test front-end components and functionality	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Chai is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them
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	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.	Yes By using chai-spec-generator plugin which will generate chai test specs from a JavaScript object	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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)	Yes By using by using a third party library like chai-jest-mocks which is a chai plugin that adds assertions for jest mock functions. You can also use sinon.js	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can group tests into suites
