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 |
Selenium is an open source tool used to test web applicationsSelenium 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 |
YesJasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality |
YesIt is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesJasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour |
YesIt 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 |
YesBy using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures |
YesBy 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 |
YesOne 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. |
N/A |
YesBy using a library such as Faker or Fake-factory |

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 |
YesIt includes support for mocking |
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. |
YesBy using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily |
