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. |
Domain Specific Language (DSL) testing solution for Ruby codeIt focuses on empowering Test Driven Development (TDD). RSpec contains multiple smaller libraries, which may be independently used with other testing frameworks. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
YesYes, but it differs from more traiditional xUnit solutions. Its tests are written in a "Tests as Specification" manner. This means that the terminology used in RSpec is adjusted to a language more fitting for specification. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesIt is a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality |
YesRSpec is used to primarily test the behaviour of applications or individual components so it can test front-end behaviour as well - you can use capybara gem with RSpec for that. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesLaravel provides a variety of tools to make it easier to test your database driven applications |
YesYou can test server-side behaviour with Rspec |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesRSpec does contain fixture methods |
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 |
YesGroup fixture methods are supported |
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 |
YesRSpec contains generators for example intergration_'test_name' which will save a spec inside the spec/requests folder |

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) |
YesLaravel provides helpers for mocking events, jobs, and facades out of the box or use Mockery or PHPUnit to create your own mocks or spies |
YesAvailable through rspec-mocks gem. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesUsing 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. |
YesAllows declaring example groups and contexts. |
