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. |
Unittest2 is a newer version on the inbuilt unit testing framework unittestTo use o use unittest2 instead of unittest, simply replace 'import unittest' with 'import unittest2'. It has many new features such as: - addCleanups for better resource management; -many new assert methods; - assertRaises as context manager, with access to the exception afterwards; - test discovery and new command line options (including failfast and better handling of ctrl-C during test runs); - class and module level fixtures: setUpClass, tearDownClass, setUpModule, tearDownModule; -test skipping and expected failures and many more improvements on the API and bug fixes |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
Yesunittest2 is a newer version of unittest which is an xUnit style framework for Python. |
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 functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest2. function by function |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesWallaby.js can test server behaviour and functionality |
YesWe can write tests with unittest2 to test each function for 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 |
N/A |
YesBy use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture |
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 |
Yesunittest2 allows you to group your initialization code buy use of the 'setUp()' function and clean up code with a 'tearDown()' function |
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 |
Yesunittest2 contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase' |

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 |
YesMocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesOne can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory |
