Tape vs Google Puppeteer comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Tape and Google Puppeteer?

	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape	Google Puppeteer https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Browser Automation
General info	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module	Puppeteer is a Node library which provides browser automation for chrome and chromium Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium; It provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It does support xUnit output	No
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 Most things you can do manually in the browser can be done using puppeteer, therefore you can create a testing environment for your tests to run directly. You can test front-end functionality such as UI testing with puppeteer
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)	No
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
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	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code	No
