General info |
This library was designed to work for both Node.js and browser interpreters and it encourages the TDD (Test Driven Development)Test doubles can be used with conjuction of other test frameworks such as Jasmine, Jest, Chai, QUnit, Mocha, Tape etc. |
Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntaxAVA 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. |
YesIt is compatible with xUnit and supportsxUnit XML output |
NoHowever 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 |
No |
YesYou 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 |
YesTestdouble is primarily used to test server-side functions, behaviours and components |
YesAva 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 |
N/A |
YesUsing 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 |
YesAva 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. |

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) |
YesTestdouble includes inbuilt support for mocking |
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 |
NoThere is no support for grouping tests |
