General info |
Lighttest is a JavaScript unit-testing library — it works both in browsers and under Node.js, supports flow control, and is focused on keeping the tests clear.Lighttest keeps tests clear by using a minimal syntax of the test cases, and the only testing function, lighttest.check(), is used to indicate a success or a failure. Any testing behaviour can be implemented using this function JavaScript natively meaning no additional testing API is required. |
WebdriverIO is the next-gen WebDriver test framework for Node.js made upon SeleniumWebdriverIO is written in JavaScript and uses Selenium under the hood. It also comes with its own inbuilt test runner and supports other testing frameworks like Jasmine, Cucumber, and Mocha |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
Yes |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesLight Test works in the browser to test client side components and behaviours |
YesWebdriverIO allows the use of advanced CSS selectors and makes it easy to find elements for front-end testing |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesLight Test works with NodeJs to test back-end environments behaviours and components in short it can test any behaviour in the back-end as well as the front-end |
YesIt can be used to test server side behaviour and functionality |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesWebdriverIO supports the creation of 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 |
YesWebdriverIO supports the creation of group 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. |

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) |
N/A |
YesIt contains a mocking service called 'wdio-wiremock-service' |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesWebdriverIO allows one to build test suites, you can run these test in parallel and organize them by adjusting the 'maxInstances' property in your config file |
