	WebdriverIO https://webdriver.io/	Buster.JS https://busterjs.readthedocs.io
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	Browser Automation, Unit Testing, Functional Testing	Unit Testing, Browser Automation
General info	WebdriverIO is the next-gen WebDriver test framework for Node.js made upon Selenium WebdriverIO is written in JavaScript and uses Selenium under the hood. It also comes with its own inbuilt test runner and supports other testing frameworks like Jasmine, Cucumber, and Mocha	Buster.JS is a JavaScript test framework for node and browsers. Buster.JS is a new JavaScript testing framework. It does browser testing by automating test runs in actual browsers (think JsTestDriver), as well as Node.js testing. It has a bunch of great features.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes	Yes Buster.Js is a xUnit style Test Framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes WebdriverIO allows the use of advanced CSS selectors and makes it easy to find elements for front-end testing	Yes It does browser testing with browser automation, QUnit style static HTML page testing, testing in headless browsers and more front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It can be used to test server side behaviour and functionality	Yes It is a Node.js testing toolkit as well which means it can test back-end behaviour and functionality as well as run in a server environment
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes WebdriverIO supports the creation of fixtures	N/A
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.	Yes WebdriverIO supports the creation of group fixtures	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.	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	BSD 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)	Yes It contains a mocking service called 'wdio-wiremock-service'	Buster.JS ships with Sinon.JS. every test in a test case has a sandbox associated with it, making it easy to mock and stub
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes WebdriverIO allows one to build test suites, you can run these test in parallel and organize them by adjusting the 'maxInstances' property in your config file
