Unit Testing |
General info |
Vows is a testing framework for NodeJS applications.Vows supports Asynchronous BDD & continuous testing for two reasons first, reason is that node.js is asynchronous, and therefore our tests need to be, second,is to make test suites which target I/O libraries run much faster. |
QUnit is a JS Unit testing framework.QUnit is especially useful for regression testing of jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile projects |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesYes, it is a xUnit style framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
No |
YesQUnit is commonly used by jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile It can test front-end components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesSince it specifically tests Nodejs it tests back-end components and other server-side behaviours and functions |
YesQunit can test any JavaScript code(including itself), this includes server-side components and functionality. Supports NodeJs |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
No |
YesBy using the qunit-fixture element which is a container for some HTML that your tests can assert against. |
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. |
No |
YesYou can group fixtures together with QUnit |
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) |
|
You can use third party libraries like jQuery's Mockjax plugin |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesYou can use the QUnit.module() function to group tests together |
