General info |
wru is an essential general purpose test framework compatible with web environment, node.js, Rhino, and now PhantomJS too.wru is compatible with basically all possible browsers out there included IE5.5, IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Webkit based, Mobile Browsers, and Opera. On server side wru is compatible with latest node.js, Rhino, PhantomJS, and JavaScriptCore versions. |
Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntaxAVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesWru is compatible with xUnit |
NoHowever Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesWru tests front-end components and functions, it is compatible with HTML and runs on probably all browsers |
YesYou can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesIt is used to test back-end components and behaviour and runs in server environments |
YesAva utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesUsing Ava's ava-fixture library it supports 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 |
YesAva has support for 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. |

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) |
You can implement your stubs and mocks using a wru.assert(...) when necessary during a specific test. |
AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
NoThere is no support for grouping tests |
