General info |
An assertion library for JavaScript (similar to chai.js)It works with any test runner and unit testing framework like Mocha, Jasmine, Karma, protractor (E2E test framework for Angular apps) and QUnit. |
Intern is minimal test system for JavaScript designed to write and run consistent.Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript designed to help you write and run consistent, high-quality test cases for your JavaScript libraries and applications. Using Intern we can write tests in JavaScript and TypeScript using any style like TDD, and BDD. Intern can run unit tests in most browsers that support ECMAScript |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesUnit.js runs in the browser to test front-end components |
YesIntern is a complete test system for JavaScript It Runs in the browser and can test any front-end component and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test server-side behaviour |
YesSince it is a complete testing system that can test any type of JavaScript code, it can test server-side behaviour and components as well |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesUnit.js provides Test fixtures for running testsThis is one of its features |
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. |
YesWith Unit.js you can group your fixtures |
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. |

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 |
Intern uses the Dojo Toolkit’s AMD loader. To mock, you should be able to just use the standard AMD 'map' feature, else you can use third party libraries like sinon.js |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesYou can group tests into Suites which may be specified as file paths or using glob expressions, there is typically one top-level suite per module. |
