Acceptance Testing |
General info |
Unit testing framework for Elixir.Elixir comes bundled with ExUnit allowing developers to use all elixir features without compromising unit tests. It uses a TDD workflow, and shows one message per test |
Gauge is a light-weight cross-platform test automation tool for writing acceptance tests.Gauge is a free and open source framework for writing and running acceptance tests. Some of its key features include: -Simple, flexible and rich syntax based on Markdown.; -Consistent cross platform/language support for writing test code.; -A modular architecture with plugins support. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesxUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesFront-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test front-end behaviour |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesExUnit tests backend code. Typically Unit tests will be written not to interact with the browser, but with ExUnit you can test whichever part of your application |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test back-end behaviour |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesExUnit has a library called ExUnitFixtures fixtures are functions that are run before a test is run to setup the test environment or provide the test with data |
|
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. |
YesGroup fixures are possible with this library |
|
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. |
YesGenerators are found in the StreamData module |

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) |
YesMocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest |
YesYou can create mocks using third party libraries like moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesUsing the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests |
YesYou can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters. |
