General info |
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. |
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides browser automation for chrome and chromiumPuppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium; It provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesDevelopers can test individual front-end components with XCTest |
YesMost things you can do manually in the browser can be done using puppeteer, therefore you can create a testing environment for your tests to run directly. You can test front-end functionality such as UI testing with puppeteer |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest |
No |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesXCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments |
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. |
YesGroup fixtures are available in XCTest |
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 |
No |

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) |
YesYou can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo |
No |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesDevelopers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class |
No |
