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 |
TickSpec is a lightweight Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) framework for .NetWith TickSpeck you can describe behaviour in plain text using the Gherkin business language, execute the behaviour against matching F# 'ticked' methods, or attribute-tagged C# or F# methods, run via your normal test runners or plugins and set breakpoints in the scenarios, step definitions or your code and go (setting breakpoints in the Gherkin is currently not supported in .NET Standard version) |
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 feature specifications for 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 code by creating feature 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 |
YesFixtures are available or are derived from the class FeatureFixture |
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 |
YesTickSpec contains group fixtures |
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 |
YesBy using a third party mocking library 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 TickSpec |
