Intern vs Selenium comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Intern and Selenium?

	Intern https://github.com/theintern/intern	Selenium https://pypi.org/project/selenium/
Programming language	JavaScript	Python
Category	Unit Testing, Functional Testing	Web Automation
General info	Intern is minimal test system for JavaScript designed to write and run consistent. Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript designed to help you write and run consistent, high-quality test cases for your JavaScript libraries and applications. Using Intern we can write tests in JavaScript and TypeScript using any style like TDD, and BDD. Intern can run unit tests in most browsers that support ECMAScript	Selenium is an open source tool used to test web applications Selenium is a powerful testing tool which can send standard Python commands to different browsers, despite variations in browser design. It also provides extensions to emulate user interaction with browsers, a distribution server for scaling browser allocation, and the infrastructure for implementations of the W3C WebDriver specification that lets you write interchangeable code for all major web browsers
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 Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript It Runs in the browser and can test any front-end component and functionality	Yes It is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Since it is a complete testing system that can test any type of JavaScript code, it can test server-side behaviour and components as well	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various components and behaviours in the backend using a BDD or TDD approach
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes By writing your Selenium WebDriver tests in PyTest, this gives you access to Pytest's powerful fixture model
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	Yes One can group fixtures if accessing Pytest's fixture model
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.		Yes By using a library such as Faker or Fake-factory
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	FreeBSD 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)	Intern uses the Dojo Toolkit’s AMD loader. To mock, you should be able to just use the standard AMD 'map' feature, else you can use third party libraries like sinon.js	Yes It includes support for mocking
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into Suites which may be specified as file paths or using glob expressions, there is typically one top-level suite per module.	Yes By using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily
