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 |
Javascript BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) based test runner/frameworkContextualised spec runner for JavaScript in the flavour of RSpec (Ruby Spec runner). JSSpec has got 2 really powerful features which helps you to make unit testing easier: 1) Shared examples 2) Shared contexts |
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. |
YesJSSpec is primarily used for testing front-end/client-side components and functionality |
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 |
No |
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 |
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. |
N/AMocha allows grouping of 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. |

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 |
YesIt has a module doubles (mocks/spies) for mocking and spying |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesGrouping is supported and is accomplished by the using a nested 'describe()' |
