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. |
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. |
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 |
No |
YesUnit.js runs in the browser to test front-end components |
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 |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test server-side behaviour |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
No |
YesUnit.js provides Test fixtures for running testsThis is one of its features |
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 |
YesWith Unit.js you can group your fixtures |
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. |
