General info |
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 |
D.O.H means Dojo Objective Harness, it's a test framework for the DOJO web apps which tests and runs on the browser and on cloud test execution services like BrowserstackDojo is a Typescript framework build for modern web application, and D.O.H is a basically unit test library to test JavaScript functions and custom widgets |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt has an XUnit reporter available which outputs an XUnit-compatible XML document, often applicable in CI servers. |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
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. |
YesDOH is both flexible and extendable and runs in many environments including many browsers to test various front-end functionalities and components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
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 |
YesPieces of back-end code can be tested with DOH as it performs Unit tests. It is flexible enough 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 |
Mocha provides the hooks before(), after(), beforeEach(), and afterEach() to set up preconditions and clean up after your tests |
It has various fixture methods like setUp(), tearDown() and Performance test fixtures which are just like a regular test fixtures, but with extra options. Specifically, it uses 'testType' to mark it as a "perf" test, which instructs the D.O.H. runner to treat the tests as performance and use the calibrate and execute test runner |
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/AMocha allows grouping of fixtures |
YesIt supports 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) |
Provides Mocking capabilities through third party libraries like sinon.js, simple-mock and nock |

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesGrouping is supported and is accomplished by the using a nested 'describe()' |
YesThere is a function that allows you to group tests, the 'doh.register(...)' function. It's most commonly used for registering Unit Tests |
