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 |
Quick is a Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework.Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C that is inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes bundled with Nimble a matcher framework for your tests. |
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 |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style test framework |
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 |
YesDevelopers can test front-end behaviour and components by defining front-end feature specifications |
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 |
YesDevelopers can test back-end behaviour and components by defining back-end feature specifications |
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 |
YesQuick contains fixture methods setup() and teardown() for setting up and destroying test environments |
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 |
YesYes, example groups (logical groupings of examples/tests) can share setup and teardown code |
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 |
YesYes, developers can create mock objects with Quick using the Cuckoo library |
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 |
YesIn Quick test suites are named Specs, and every test suite you create starts off with a class inheriting from QuickSpec includes a main method, spec() which contains all the test cases. |
