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 |
Spek is a specification framework for KotlinSpek is a Kotlin-based Specification Testing framework for the JVM. It works as a JUnit 5 Test Engine meaning that we can easily plug it into any project that already uses JUnit 5 to run alongside any other tests that we might have. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesTestCafe is primarily a front-end testing tool |
YesYes you can test front-end behaviour by writing specifications to test front-end functionality. Developers can also write unit tests for individual front-end components. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
No |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour and componets by writing specifications to test back-end functionality and unit tests for individual back-end components |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesYou can create fixtures with TestCafe |
YesFixtures are available in spek through functions suchas beforeEachTest() and afterEachTest() |
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 |
Yesspek has group fixtures available through the beforeGroup() and afterGroup() functions |
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) |
YesWe can mock requests with the 'RequestMock' hook |
YesYou can use the third party library mockito-kotlin |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesTests are written using nested lambdas, each scope (level) can either be a group or a test |
