| 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. |
TestCafe is a Node.js tool to automate end-to-end web testing. TestCafe runs on Windows, MacOs, and Linux and supports mobile, remote and cloud browsers (UI or headless). It is also free and open source |

xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

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 |
Yes TestCafe is primarily a front-end testing tool |
|
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 |
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
|
Yes You can create fixtures with TestCafe |
|
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. |

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 |
Yes We can mock requests with the 'RequestMock' hook |
