Unit Testing |
General info |
Standalone test stubs and mocks for JavaScript. Works with any unit testing framework.Sinon.js is a great library when you want to unit test your code with supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js. |
NUnit is an open-source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET.NUnit was Initially ported from JUnit. Tests can be run from a console runner, within Visual Studio through a Test Adapter or through 3rd party runners. Tests can be run in parallel and has Strong support for data driven tests. Unit supports multiple platforms including .NET Core, Xamarin Mobile, Compact Framework and Silverlight. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesCompatible |
YesNunit is one of many programs in the xUnit family |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesSinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support |
YesYou can test front-end components with NUnit since it is a Unit testing framework the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesSinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and server-side behaviour |
YesYou can test back-end components with NUnit, it is a Unit testing framework hence the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesNUnit contains the fixture methods SetUp to initialize your test environment and TearDown method to destroy a test environment |
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. |
|
YesGroup fixtures are available in NUnit |
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) |
YesSinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesYou can group tests into suites with NUnit |
