EvoSuite vs Vows comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between EvoSuite and Vows?

	EvoSuite http://www.evosuite.org/	Vows http://vowsjs.org/
Programming language	Java	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Functional Testing, Asynchronous Testing
General info	EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates unit tests for Java software EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates test cases with assertions for classes written in Java code by applying a hybrid approach that generates and optimizes whole test suites towards satisfying a coverage criterion	Vows is a testing framework for NodeJS applications. Vows supports Asynchronous BDD & continuous testing for two reasons first, reason is that node.js is asynchronous, and therefore our tests need to be, second,is to make test suites which target I/O libraries run much faster.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end code by testing the classes that provide front-end functionality	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test server-side functionality and components	Yes Since it specifically tests Nodejs it tests back-end components and other server-side behaviours and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	You can write your own fixtures but no inbuilt fixtures are provided	No
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	No
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	GNU 2.1 License	Apache License 2.0
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)	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Suites are generated automatically in evosuite
