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. |
Spek is a specification framework for KotlinSpek is a Kotlin-based Specification Testing framework for the JVM. It works as a JUnit 5 Test Engine meaning that we can easily plug it into any project that already uses JUnit 5 to run alongside any other tests that we might have. |
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 |
YesYes you can test front-end behaviour by writing specifications to test front-end functionality. Developers can also write unit tests for individual front-end components. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test server-side behaviour |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour and componets by writing specifications to test back-end functionality and unit tests for individual back-end components |
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 |
YesFixtures are available in spek through functions suchas beforeEachTest() and afterEachTest() |
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 |
Yesspek has group fixtures available through the beforeGroup() and afterGroup() functions |
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 |
YesYou can use the third party library mockito-kotlin |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesTests are written using nested lambdas, each scope (level) can either be a group or a test |
