General info	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module	Nodeunit is a Nodejs testing framework that has Simple syntax, powerful tools. Nodeunit provides easy async unit testing for node.js and the browser. Nodeunit was one of the first testing frameworks developed for node. It was very useful at the time, but there's an overwhelming number of other worthwhile testing solutions out there that are actively maintained. tap, ava, tape, mocha, jasmine, jest, ... the list goes on and on.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It does support xUnit output	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality	Yes
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)	Yes
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality	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.	No	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.	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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)	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code
