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

	QUnit https://qunitjs.com/	WebdriverIO https://webdriver.io/
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Browser Automation, Unit Testing, Functional 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	WebdriverIO is the next-gen WebDriver test framework for Node.js made upon Selenium WebdriverIO 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.	Yes Yes, it is a xUnit style framework	Yes
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 WebdriverIO 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	Yes Qunit can test any JavaScript code(including itself), this includes server-side components and functionality. Supports NodeJs	Yes It 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	Yes By using the qunit-fixture element which is a container for some HTML that your tests can assert against.	Yes WebdriverIO 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.	Yes You can group fixtures together with QUnit	Yes WebdriverIO 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.		N/A
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	Yes It contains a mocking service called 'wdio-wiremock-service'
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can use the QUnit.module() function to group tests together	Yes WebdriverIO 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
