Functional Testing, Asynchronous Testing
|
General info |
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides browser automation for chrome and chromium Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium; It provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol |
Vows is a testing framework for NodeJS applications. Vows supports Asynchronous BDD & continuous testing for two reasons first, reason is that node.js is asynchronous, and therefore our tests need to be, second,is to make test suites which target I/O libraries run much faster. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No

No
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes Most things you can do manually in the browser can be done using puppeteer, therefore you can create a testing environment for your tests to run directly. You can test front-end functionality such as UI testing with puppeteer |
No
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
No
|
Yes Since it specifically tests Nodejs it tests back-end components and other server-side behaviours and functions |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A
|
No
|
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
|
No
|
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) |
No

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
