Wallaby.js vs XCTest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Wallaby.js and XCTest?

	Wallaby.js https://wallabyjs.com/	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest
Programming language	JavaScript	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Performance Testing
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.	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Wallaby.js can test front-end components and functionality	Yes Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Wallaby.js can test server behaviour and functionality	Yes Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments
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	Yes Group fixtures are available in XCTest
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	N/A

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	Yes You can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class
