General info |
Wallaby.js is an integrated continuous testing tool for JavaScript.Wallaby.js runs your tests immediately as you change your code (you don’t even have to save the file) and reports code coverage and other results directly to your code editor. Its also uses various techniques such as dependency analysis to only execute tests affected by your code changes and parallel test execution to ensure your tests run as fast as possible. |
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. |
N/A |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesWallaby.js can test front-end components and functionality |
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 |
YesWallaby.js can test server behaviour and functionality |
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 |
N/A |
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. |
N/A |
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) |
By use of a third party library Jest works well with wallaby |
By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesUsing the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level. |
