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. |
Trial is a unit testing framework for Python built by Twisted Matrix labsTrial is composed of two parts: First is a command-line test runner, which can be run on plain Python unit tests and can do automated unit-test discovery across files, modules, or even arbitrarily nested packages. Second is a test library, derived from Python's 'unittest.TestCase' |
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 |
YesFront-end components can be tested for example adding a web front-end using simple twisted.web.resource.Resource objects |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesWallaby.js can test server behaviour and functionality |
YesServer-side behaviour can be tested with Trial, it has various functions for this in the twisted.web.Resource package |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesTrial supports various fixture methods such as 'setUp()' and 'tearDown' functions fixture for normal semantics of setup, and teardown |
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 |
YesMethods like 'setUp()' allow for creation of group 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. |
N/A |
Through use of third party libraries like test-generator. |
Licence
Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software |
N/A |
MIT License |
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 |
YesTrial can access the mock library inbuilt in python for mocking purposes |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesTrial allows tests to be grouped into test packages |
