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. |
PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for the PHP programming languagePHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework and is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
YesIt's an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesChai can be used in a browser environment to test front-end components and functionality |
YesIt can perform Unit tests and can test various front-end components and behaviours |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesChai is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality |
YesBy performing unit tests on singular back-end 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 |
YesBy use of a setup code. The setup code consists of two Important template functions, the 'setUp()' function (called to create the objects to be tested) and 'tearDown()' function (called to cleanup the objects which you tested) |
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 |
YesIt does support group fixtures |
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. |
YesBy using chai-spec-generator plugin which will generate chai test specs from a JavaScript object |

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) |
YesBy 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 |
YesOne of its main features is that PHPUnit comes with out of the box support for Mock objects |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesIt allows grouping of tests and by using the @group annotation one can tag a test to belong to one or more groups |
