| General info |
Laravel Dusk is an easy-to-use browser automation and testing API. One can use Dusk to programmatically test applications, visit any website using a real Chrome browser, automate repetitive tasks, scrape information from other sites or test to make sure your app always works in the browser. |
An automation tool for Behavior-Driven Development The specifications are written in plain texts, which allows them to be easily understandable for all stakeholders. Cucumber Framework also supports languages beyond Ruby e.g. Java, JavaScript and Scala. |
|
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A
|
No
|
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes It is a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality |
Yes You can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber and selenium, they integrate well to test your front-end. |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes Laravel provides a variety of tools to make it easier to test your database driven applications |
Yes You can test back-end components such as APIs using rest & soap clients, and databases using whatever client libraries were provided by the libraries that existed in those stacks |

Fixtures

N/A
|

|
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 Using the cucumber extension aruba you can create fixures in two steps: 1.Create a fixtures-directory; 2.Create fixture files in this directory |
|
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. |
N/A
|
Yes You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories |

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 Laravel provides helpers for mocking events, jobs, and facades out of the box or use Mockery or PHPUnit to create your own mocks or spies |
Yes By using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock) |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes Using the 'dusk' which command accepts any argument that is normally accepted by the PHPUnit test runner, allowing you to run the tests for a given group. |
Yes Cucumber allows the use of tag Cucumber feature files or individual tests to group tests. Then, you can pass a Cucumber tagged expression at test execution that specifies the tag (grouped) tests to run. https://www.toolsqa.com/cucumber/cucumber-tags/ |
