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. |
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides browser automation for chrome and chromiumPuppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium; It provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
No |
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 |
YesMost things you can do manually in the browser can be done using puppeteer, therefore you can create a testing environment for your tests to run directly. You can test front-end functionality such as UI testing with puppeteer |
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 |
No |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
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. |
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. |
YesBy using chai-spec-generator plugin which will generate chai test specs from a JavaScript object |
No |

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 |
No |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
