MSTest vs Lighttest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between MSTest and Lighttest?

Programming language	.NET	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net framework MSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments.	Lighttest is a JavaScript unit-testing library — it works both in browsers and under Node.js, supports flow control, and is focused on keeping the tests clear. Lighttest keeps tests clear by using a minimal syntax of the test cases, and the only testing function, lighttest.check(), is used to indicate a success or a failure. Any testing behaviour can be implemented using this function JavaScript natively meaning no additional testing API is required.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components	Yes Light Test works in the browser to test client side components and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually	Yes Light Test works with NodeJs to test back-end environments behaviours and components in short it can test any behaviour in the back-end as well as the front-end
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment	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.	Yes Group fixtures are available	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.	N/A	N/A

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 You can create mock objects using the third party library moq	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	N/A
