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. |
Teenytest is a simple, zero-config test runner for NodeJSTeenytest's CLI will run tests with zero public-API and zero configuration |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesCompatible |
YesIt supports xUnit output |
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 |
No |
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 |
YesTeenytest tests database connections and other server-side components and behaviour |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesIt provides fixtures with the methods beforeAll(),afterEach() and afterAll()beforeAll() creates the browser and gives you a newPage() globalafterEach() will close any pages you created with newPage()afterAll() closes the browser |
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. |

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 |
N/A |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesGrouping is supported through nested tests in which any object can contain any combination of hooks, test functions, and additional sub-test objects. |
