Fixie vs Tape comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Fixie and Tape?

	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape
Programming language	.NET	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework	Yes It does support xUnit output
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie	Yes You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie	Yes With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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)	N/A	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code
