QUnit vs Tape comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between QUnit and Tape?

	QUnit https://qunitjs.com/	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	QUnit is a JS Unit testing framework. QUnit is especially useful for regression testing of jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile projects	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Yes, it is a xUnit style framework	Yes It does support xUnit output
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes QUnit is commonly used by jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile It can test front-end components and functionality	Yes You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Qunit can test any JavaScript code(including itself), this includes server-side components and functionality. Supports NodeJs	Yes With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By using the qunit-fixture element which is a container for some HTML that your tests can assert against.	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality
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.	Yes You can group fixtures together with QUnit	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.		No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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)	You can use third party libraries like jQuery's Mockjax plugin	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can use the QUnit.module() function to group tests together	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code
