Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing |
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. |
JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runnerIt's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites |
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 |
YesJasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test server-side behaviour |
YesJasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour |
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 |
YesBy using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures |
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 |
By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesUsing the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level. |
