General info |
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. |
Mocha is a widely used JavaScript test framework for Node.jsMocha is a simple, flexible and the one of the widely adopted JS test framework. Mocha usually runs tests serially which enables the accurate reporting. Also it's useful for asynchronous testing, and provides various king of test reports. Spec is default test reporter for mocha, there are many test reports like Nyan, Dot matrix, Tap, Landing strip, List and Progress. Mocha is being used with many other test frameworks like Selenium WebDriver, Webdriver.io, wd and Cypress |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesKiwi is an xUnit style framework |
YesIt has an XUnit reporter available which outputs an XUnit-compatible XML document, often applicable in CI servers. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end components with kiwi |
YesMocha Runs in the browser and is used widely to test front-end components and functionality. It can test various DOM elements, front-end functions and so on. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end components with kiwi |
YesMocha provides convenient ways of testing the Node server.It works well with Chai (an assertion library) where it provides the environment for writing server-side tests while we write the tests with Chai |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
|
Mocha provides the hooks before(), after(), beforeEach(), and afterEach() to set up preconditions and clean up after your tests |
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. |
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 |
N/AMocha allows grouping of fixtures |
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. |
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) |
YesKiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks |
Provides Mocking capabilities through third party libraries like sinon.js, simple-mock and nock |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesKiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests |
YesGrouping is supported and is accomplished by the using a nested 'describe()' |
