General info |
MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net frameworkMSTest 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. |
Standalone test stubs and mocks for JavaScript. Works with any unit testing framework.Sinon.js is a great library when you want to unit test your code with supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesMsTest is an xUnit type framework |
YesCompatible |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesMsTest can test various front-end components |
YesSinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesWith MSTest you can test various back-end components individually |
YesSinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and 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 |
YesMSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment |

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) |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
YesSinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesGrouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest |
