General info |
JasUnit is a slim unit testing framework for JavaScript, following the general design principles of xUnit.For testing your code, JasUnit allows you to: Create test fixtures with any number of test methods; Implement setup() and teardown() methods which are run before and after each test; Specify a namespace for a fixture for easy organisation of tests; Use the default or custom logger (default appends results to a given element); Use assertions from any scope - this isn't necessary or even really advised, but some people prefer it. |
Unit testing framework for Elixir.Elixir comes bundled with ExUnit allowing developers to use all elixir features without compromising unit tests. It uses a TDD workflow, and shows one message per test |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesJasUnit follows the general design principles o xUnit |
YesxUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesJasUnit is primarily used to test front-end code and functionality |
YesFront-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
No |
YesExUnit tests backend code. Typically Unit tests will be written not to interact with the browser, but with ExUnit you can test whichever part of your application |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesWith JasUnit you can Create test fixtures with any number of test methods Implement setup() and teardown() methods which are run before and after each test |
YesExUnit has a library called ExUnitFixtures fixtures are functions that are run before a test is run to setup the test environment or provide the test with data |
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. |
YesJasUnit allow you to create group fixtures |
YesGroup fixures are possible with this library |
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. |
|
YesGenerators are found in the StreamData module |
Licence
Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software |
N/A |
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) |
YesIt provides inbuilt Mocking capabilities |
YesMocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesUsing the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests |
