General info |
tap-producing test harness for node and browsers.Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module |
An assertion library for JavaScript (similar to chai.js)It works with any test runner and unit testing framework like Mocha, Jasmine, Karma, protractor (E2E test framework for Angular apps) and QUnit. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt does support xUnit output |
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality |
YesUnit.js runs in the browser to test front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesWith tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol) |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test server-side behaviour |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
NoTape 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 |
YesUnit.js provides Test fixtures for running testsThis is one of its features |
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 |
YesWith Unit.js you can group your fixtures |
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) |
NoTape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code |
