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

	Chai https://www.chaijs.com	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs
Programming language	JavaScript	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	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.	MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net framework MSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework
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 MsTest can test various front-end components
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 With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually
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 MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment
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 Group fixtures are available
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	N/A

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 You can create mock objects using the third party library moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest
