General info |
JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runnerIt's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites |
Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS developmentThe goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesKiwi is an xUnit style framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesJasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality |
YesYou can test front-end components with kiwi |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesJasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour |
YesYou can test back-end components with kiwi |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBy using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures |
|
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 |
Yeskiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts |
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 |
Yesthrough the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions. |

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) |
By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests |
YesKiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesUsing the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level. |
YesKiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests |
