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. |
Quick is a Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework.Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C that is inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes bundled with Nimble a matcher framework for your tests. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style test framework |
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 |
YesDevelopers can test front-end behaviour and components by defining front-end feature specifications |
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 |
YesDevelopers can test back-end behaviour and components by defining back-end feature specifications |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesQuick contains fixture methods setup() and teardown() for setting up and destroying test environments |
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 |
YesYes, example groups (logical groupings of examples/tests) can share setup and teardown code |
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 |
YesYes, developers can create mock objects with Quick using the Cuckoo library |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesIn Quick test suites are named Specs, and every test suite you create starts off with a class inheriting from QuickSpec includes a main method, spec() which contains all the test cases. |
