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

	Chai https://www.chaijs.com	teenytest https://github.com/testdouble/teenytest
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	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.	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
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 Grouping is supported through nested tests in which any object can contain any combination of hooks, test functions, and additional sub-test objects.
