unexpected vs TestNG comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between unexpected and TestNG?

	unexpected http://unexpected.js.org/	TestNG https://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html
Programming language	JavaScript	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing, End-to-End Testing
General info	An extensible BDD assertion toolkit Unexpected is an extensible BDD assertion toolkit that is compatible with all test frameworks,is Node.js ready (require('unexpected')) and supports asynchronous assertions using promises among other features. It can be used with any test runner that catches exceptions, but the developer recommends Mocha, Jest or Jasmine as they are integrated tested with every release	TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnit TestNG is similar to JUnit and NUnit but with newer functionalities such as: annotations, test that your code is multithread safe, flexible test configuration, support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), support for parameters, powerful execution model (no more TestSuite) and more... It's also designed to cover all categories of tests unit, functional, end-to-end, intergration... etc
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Unexpected can be used in a browser environment to test front-end components and functionality	Yes The scope of testing with testNg is wide and you can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours with it
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Unexpected is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality	Yes You can test server-side functionalities and behaviours with TestNg
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Fixtures are inbuilt into testNG, these are the annotations which are: @BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite, @BeforeTest, @AfterTest, @BeforeGroups, @AfterGroups, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod
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 You can use various fixtures to setup environments for group tests
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	Apache License 2.0
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)	N/A	Yes By Use of an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes Multiple test cases can be grouped more easily by converting them into testng.xml file, in which you can make priorities which test case should be executed first
