General info |
Unitils is an open source library whose goal is to make unit and integration testing easy and maintainable.Unitils is divided into modules, each of them providing support for a certain aspect of your unit and integration tests. For example if you need mocking for your tests, just include unitils-mock as a dependency, If you would also want to load DbUnit data sets, just include unitils-dbunit |
Chai is a BDD / TDD assertion library for Node.js and the browser that can be paired with any JavaScript testing framework.Chai is an assertion library, similar to Node's built-in assert and makes testing easier by giving you many assertions you can run against your code. It also includes a robust Plugin architecture for extending Chai's assertions and interfaces. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
N/A |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can perform unit tests on various components and functionality that make up the front-end |
YesChai can be used in a browser environment to test front-end components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesUnitils provides support for testing the back-end through modules such as DbUnit which specifically tests your database, i.e connections setup and so on |
YesChai is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
YesBy using chai-spec-generator plugin which will generate chai test specs from a JavaScript object |

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) |
|
YesBy using by using a third party library like chai-jest-mocks which is a chai plugin that adds assertions for jest mock functions. You can also use sinon.js |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
