General info |
BDD driven testing framework for Elixir It is a testing framework written from scratch which is inspired by RSpec and the main idea is to close to its perfect DSL (Domain Specific Language) |
Library for end-to-end intergration testing for Elixir apps Wallaby supports concurrent feature testing (i.e multiple tests can run concurrently) as well as browser management |
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 Front-end components can be tested; there is also espec_phoenix for the Phoenix web framework |
Yes It works well for automated E2E testing; Wallaby also has an experimental Chrome Driver that works well |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes databases and server behaviour can be tested using Espec |

Yes It has a Built-in mocking functionality on top of Erlang 'meck' library |
Yes Available through third party libraries like Mock and Mockery |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes By use of context blocksand tags functions |
