One Pager Cheat Sheet

• JavaScript and its frameworks have become increasingly popular and have necessitated the need for automated processes, such as automated testing, to support the full lifecycle of development, which is provided by a testing framework that offers rules, conventions and self-grading tools.
• MochaJS has a wide community, provides support for both front-end and back-end testing, runs tests in parallel for simple asynchronous testing and has both benefits and downsides to consider.
• MochaJS is a versatile testing framework for back-end and front-end code, which can be easily integrated with existing testing frameworks like Jest and Karma.
• Jasmine is a JavaScript BDD testing framework used to simulate and test user behavior, with a small, clean syntax, strong documentation and community support, and a smooth learning curve, though it needs a lot of configuration and lacks built-in snapshot testing.
• Jasmine requires substantial configuration, including integrating an assertion and mocking framework, as well as a snapshot testing library, making it a time-consuming and challenging set up process.
• Karma is an open-source productive testing environment which eliminates the need for configuration setup, supports tests on real browsers and devices, and offers advantages like control over the workflow, adaptability, compatibility with CI/CD, and an active community.
• Karma is an attractive option for developers and QA teams, with its easy setup, real device and browser testing, as well as CI/CD support and large community.
• Selenium WebDriver is an open-source, widely accepted testing framework for web applications, with language bindings for various programming languages and a large community providing support.
• Open-source testing framework Selenium WebDriver is a widely used, free tool that supports multiple programming languages and provides advantages like a large community and documentation for support.
• With Puppeteer, developers can automate certain web browser activities, use a library to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools protocol, manipulate external resources to improve test performance, and more.
• Puppeteer only works with Chrome or Chromium as it uses the DevTools Protocol as a connection interface.
