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. |
Teenytest is a simple, zero-config test runner for NodeJS Teenytest's CLI will run tests with zero public-API and zero configuration |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A
|
Yes It supports xUnit output |
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 |
No
|
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 Teenytest tests database connections and other server-side components and behaviour |
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 It provides fixtures with the methods beforeAll(),afterEach() and afterAll()beforeAll() creates the browser and gives you a newPage() globalafterEach() will close any pages you created with newPage()afterAll() closes the browser |
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
|
Yes Teeny test supports grouping of 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. |
Yes By 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) |
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 Grouping is supported through nested tests in which any object can contain any combination of hooks, test functions, and additional sub-test objects. |
