Unit Testing |
General info |
Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for SwiftSleipnir is a pure Swift BDD testing framework inspired by cedar, that is not dependent on NSObject, and does not use XCTest. Sleipnir has nice command line output and support for custom test reporters and other features, like seeded random tests invocation, focused and excluded examples/groups |
Unit testing framework for Elixir.Elixir comes bundled with ExUnit allowing developers to use all elixir features without compromising unit tests. It uses a TDD workflow, and shows one message per test |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
YesxUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions |
YesFront-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end |
YesExUnit tests backend code. Typically Unit tests will be written not to interact with the browser, but with ExUnit you can test whichever part of your application |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesFixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters |
YesExUnit has a library called ExUnitFixtures fixtures are functions that are run before a test is run to setup the test environment or provide the test with data |
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 through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup group fixtures |
YesGroup fixures are possible with this library |
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 |
YesGenerators are found in the StreamData module |

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) |
YesYes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo. |
YesMocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can declare example groups with Slepnir |
YesUsing the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests |
