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. |
An assertion library for JavaScript (similar to chai.js)It works with any test runner and unit testing framework like Mocha, Jasmine, Karma, protractor (E2E test framework for Angular apps) and QUnit. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style framework |
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesDevelopers can test individual front-end components with XCTest |
YesUnit.js runs in the browser to test front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test 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 |
YesXCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments |
YesUnit.js provides Test fixtures for running testsThis is one of its features |
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 |
YesWith Unit.js you can group your 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) |
YesYou can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo |

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesDevelopers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class |
