General info |
Spek is a specification framework for KotlinSpek is a Kotlin-based Specification Testing framework for the JVM. It works as a JUnit 5 Test Engine meaning that we can easily plug it into any project that already uses JUnit 5 to run alongside any other tests that we might have. |
Buster.JS is a JavaScript test framework for node and browsers.Buster.JS is a new JavaScript testing framework. It does browser testing by automating test runs in actual browsers (think JsTestDriver), as well as Node.js testing. It has a bunch of great features. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesBuster.Js is a xUnit style Test Framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYes you can test front-end behaviour by writing specifications to test front-end functionality. Developers can also write unit tests for individual front-end components. |
YesIt does browser testing with browser automation, QUnit style static HTML page testing, testing in headless browsers and more front-end components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour and componets by writing specifications to test back-end functionality and unit tests for individual back-end components |
YesIt is a Node.js testing toolkit as well which means it can test back-end behaviour and functionality as well as run in a server environment |
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 in spek through functions suchas beforeEachTest() and afterEachTest() |
N/A |
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. |
Yesspek has group fixtures available through the beforeGroup() and afterGroup() functions |
N/A |
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) |
YesYou can use the third party library mockito-kotlin |
Buster.JS ships with Sinon.JS. every test in a test case has a sandbox associated with it, making it easy to mock and stub |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesTests are written using nested lambdas, each scope (level) can either be a group or a test |
