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 |
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. |
No
|
Yes It does support xUnit output |
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 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 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 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 |
N/A
|
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. |

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 |
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 which may be specified as file paths or using glob expressions, there is typically one top-level suite per module. |
No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code |
