General info

Tacinga is an Object-Oriented Java unit testing library

It's a property based testing framework written in typescript

Fast-check provides another way to test programs by using property testing, Property testing is a way to test functionality by automatically generating many different inputs. This means Instead of relying on hard-coded inputs and outputs, it checks characteristics of the output given the whole range of possible inputs
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.

N/A

Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser

Yes

You can unit test front-end components with tacinga

Yes

It can test 'units' of front-end code for functionality and behaviour
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code

Yes

You can test back-end components and functionality.with tacinga

Yes

It is a unit testing framework in essence and can test back-end functionality 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

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.

N/A

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)

You can use external libraries like mockit
