TestCafe vs AVA comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TestCafe and AVA?

	TestCafe https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/	AVA https://github.com/avajs/ava
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	End-to-End Testing, Regression Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	TestCafe is a Node.js tool to automate end-to-end web testing. TestCafe runs on Windows, MacOs, and Linux and supports mobile, remote and cloud browsers (UI or headless). It is also free and open source	Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntax AVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No However Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes TestCafe is primarily a front-end testing tool	Yes You can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	No	Yes Ava utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes You can create fixtures with TestCafe	Yes Using Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures
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	Yes Ava has support for group 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.	N/A	N/A
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)	Yes We can mock requests with the 'RequestMock' hook	AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	No There is no support for grouping tests
