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

	JUnit https://junit.org/junit5/	Intern https://github.com/theintern/intern
Programming language	Java	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Regression Testing	Unit Testing, Functional Testing
General info	JUnit is an open source Unit testing framework for java JUnit is useful for developers to write and run repeatable tests. JUnit has been crucial in the development of test driven development and is partof the xUnit family of unit testing frameworks	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
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components such as individual classes and functions that create the front-end	Yes Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript It Runs in the browser and can test any front-end component and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test classes and functions that compose the back-end such as database connections and so on	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
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes JUnit contains a setUp() method, which runs before every test invocation and a tearDown() method, which runs after every test method.	N/A
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.	Yes You can use setUp() and tearDown() inbuilt functions as group fixtures.	N/A
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.	You can use JUnit-quickcheck to generate test data

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)	JUnit does not support mocking internally but you can use a mock framework like Mockito to generate mock objects.	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
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes In JUnit you can create a test suite that bundles a few unit test cases and runs them together. You use both @RunWith and @Suite annotation are used to run the suite test.	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.
