QUnit
QUnit
The powerful, easy-to-use JavaScript testing framework. Easy, zero-configuration setup for any Node.js project and minimal configuration for browser-based projects. Tests can be run anywhere; Node, your browser, even inside a web worker. Test your code where it runs. Flexible APIs for custom assertions, runners, and reporters mean you can extend QUnit to fit your needs. Getting started with QUnit for Node.js projects is quick and easy. First, install the QUnit package using npm. You can now run the test suite through the QUnit CLI. It is recommended that you run the QUnit command via an npm script, which will find the QUnit command automatically from your local dependencies. Check out the API documentation to learn more about the QUnit APIs for organizing tests and making assertions.QUnit follows the Node.js Long-term Support (LTS) schedule and provides support for current, active LTS, and maintenance LTS releases.Starting Price: Free -
10
Mocha
Mocha
Mocha runs in the browser. Every release of Mocha will have new builds of ./mocha.js and ./mocha.css for use in the browser. By adding an argument (usually named done) to it() to a test callback, Mocha will know that it should wait for this function to be called to complete the test. This callback accepts both an Error instance (or subclass thereof) or a falsy value; anything else is invalid usage and throws an error (usually causing a failed test). These reporters expect Mocha to know how many tests it plans to run before execution. This information is unavailable in parallel mode, as test files are loaded only when they are about to be run. In serial mode, tests results will “stream” as they occur. In parallel mode, reporter output is buffered; reporting will occur after each file is completed. In practice, the reporter output will appear in “chunks” (but will otherwise be identical). If a test file is particularly slow, there may be a significant pause while it’s running.Starting Price: Free -

Scapy
Scapy
Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation program. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks, or network discovery (it can replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tshark, p0f, etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other tools can’t handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel), etc. Scapy runs natively on Linux, Windows, OSX, and on most Unixes with libpcap. The same code base now runs natively on both Python 2 and Python 3. Scapy development uses the Git version control system. Scapy reference repository is hosted on GitHub.Starting Price: Free -

PHPUnit
PHPUnit
PHPUnit requires the dom and json extensions, which are normally enabled by default. PHPUnit also requires the pcre, reflection, and spl extensions. These standard extensions are enabled by default and cannot be disabled without patching PHP’s build system and/or C sources. The code coverage report feature requires the Xdebug (2.7.0 or later) and tokenizer extensions. Generating XML reports requires the xmlwriter extension. Unit Tests are primarily written as a good practice to help developers identify and fix bugs, to refactor code and to serve as documentation for a unit of software under test. To achieve these benefits, unit tests ideally should cover all the possible paths in a program. One unit test usually covers one specific path in one function or method. However a test method is not necessarily an encapsulated, independent entity. Often there are implicit dependencies between test methods, hidden in the implementation scenario of a test.Starting Price: Free -
14
Jasmine
Jasmine
Jasmine attempts as best as possible to follow semantic versioning. This means we reserve major versions (1.0, 2.0, etc.) for breaking changes or other significant work. Most Jasmine releases end up being minor releases (2.3, 2.4, etc.). Major releases are very infrequent. Jasmine generally avoids dropping support for browser or Node versions except in major releases. The exceptions to this are Node versions that are past end of life, browsers that we can no longer install locally and/or test against in our CI builds, browsers that no longer receive security updates, and browsers that only run on operating systems that no longer receive security updates. We’ll make reasonable efforts to keep Jasmine working in those environments but won’t necessarily do a major release if they break.Starting Price: Free -
15
Karma
Karma
The main goal for Karma is to bring a productive testing environment to developers. The environment being one where they don't have to set up loads of configurations, but rather a place where developers can just write the code and get instant feedback from their tests. Because getting quick feedback is what makes you productive and creative. Test your code on real browsers and real devices such as phones, tablets or on a headless PhantomJS instance. Control the whole workflow from the command line or your IDE - just save a file and Karma will run all the tests. Karma also watches all the files, specified within the configuration file, and whenever any file changes, it triggers the test run by sending a signal to the testing server to inform all of the captured browsers to run the test code again. Each browser then loads the source files inside an IFrame, executes the tests and reports the results back to the server.Starting Price: Free -
16
JMockit
JMockit
The toolkit is provided as a set of artifacts deployed to the Maven Central repository. It requires Java 7 or newer for test execution; tests must use JUnit or TestNG. For instructions on how to add the library to a Java project, see Running tests with JMockit. In this tutorial we examine the APIs available in the library, with the help of example tests (using Java 8). The central API - a single annotation - provides support for the automatic instantiation and initialization of the objects to be tested. Then we have the mocking API (also known as the "Expectations" API), intended for tests which use mocked dependencies. Finally, there is a small faking API (aka the "Mockups" API), which can be used for the creation and application of fake implementations that avoid the full cost of external components.Starting Price: Free -
17
unittest
Python
The unittest unit testing framework was originally inspired by JUnit and has a similar flavor as major unit testing frameworks in other languages. It supports test automation, sharing of setup and shutdown code for tests, aggregation of tests into collections, and independence of the tests from the reporting framework. A test fixture represents the preparation needed to perform one or more tests, and any associated cleanup actions. This may involve, for example, creating temporary or proxy databases, directories, or starting a server process. A test suite is a collection of test cases, test suites, or both. It is used to aggregate tests that should be executed together. A test runner is a component which orchestrates the execution of tests and provides the outcome to the user. The runner may use a graphical interface, a textual interface, or return a special value to indicate the results of executing the tests.Starting Price: Free -

xUnit.net
xUnit.net
xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework. Written by the original inventor of NUnit v2, xUnit.net is the latest technology for unit testing C#, F#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. xUnit.net works with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.NET and Xamarin. It is part of the .NET Foundation, and operates under their code of conduct.Starting Price: Free -
19
Puppeteer
Puppeteer
Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer! Puppeteer-core is intended to be a lightweight version of Puppeteer for launching an existing browser installation or for connecting to a remote one. Be sure that the version of puppeteer-core you install is compatible with the browser you intend to connect to. Puppeteer will be familiar to people using other browser testing frameworks. You create an instance of Browser, open pages, and then manipulate them with Puppeteer's API. By default, Puppeteer downloads and uses a specific version of Chromium so its API is guaranteed to work out of the box. To use Puppeteer with a different version of Chrome or Chromium, pass in the executable's path when creating a Browser instance.Starting Price: Free -

Playwright
Playwright
Playwright supports all modern rendering engines including Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox. Test on Windows, Linux, and macOS, locally or on CI, headless or headed. Playwright waits for elements to be actionable prior to performing actions. It also has a rich set of introspection events. The combination of the two eliminates the need for artificial timeouts - the primary cause of flaky tests. Playwright assertions are created specifically for the dynamic web. Checks are automatically retried until the necessary conditions are met. Configure test retry strategy, capture execution trace, videos, screenshots to eliminate flakes. Browsers run web content belonging to different origins in different processes. Playwright is aligned with the modern browsers architecture and runs tests out-of-process. This makes Playwright free of the typical in-process test runner limitations.Starting Price: Free -

Nightwatch.js
Nightwatch.js
Nightwatch.js is an integrated, easy to use End-to-End testing solution for web applications and websites, written in Node.js. It uses the W3C WebDriver API to drive browsers and perform commands and assertions on DOM elements. Simple but powerful syntax which enables you to write tests very quickly, using Javascript (Node.js) and CSS or Xpath selectors. Typescript is supported as well. Built-in command-line test runner which runs the tests either sequentially or in parallel, with retries and implicit waits. Also supports grouping of test suites and tags. Manages automatically Selenium or WebDriver services (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver, Edge, Safari) in a separate child process. Fluent and easy to work with Page Object Model support to better organise elements and sections, with support for both CSS or Xpath selectors.Starting Price: Free -

Mockito
Mockito
Mockito is a mocking framework that tastes really good. It lets you write beautiful tests with a clean & simple API. Mockito doesn’t give you hangover because the tests are very readable and they produce clean verification errors. Read more about features & motivations. Top 10 Java library across all libraries, not only the testing tools. In late 2013 there was an analysis made of 30.000 GitHub projects. Although Mockito reached number 9 in the main report, mockito-core and mockito-all are the same tool and therefore the factual position of Mockito is number 4, surpassing famous tools like Guava or Spring. Treat this study as an indicator of a big impact that Mockito makes every day on unit tests written in Java.Starting Price: Free -
23
PowerMock
PowerMock
Writing unit tests can be hard and sometimes good design has to be sacrificed for the sole purpose of testability. Often testability corresponds to good design, but this is not always the case. For example final classes and methods cannot be used, private methods sometimes need to be protected or unnecessarily moved to a collaborator, static methods should be avoided completely and so on simply because of the limitations of existing frameworks. PowerMock is a framework that extends other mock libraries such as EasyMock with more powerful capabilities. PowerMock uses a custom classloader and bytecode manipulation to enable mocking of static methods, constructors, final classes and methods, private methods, removal of static initializers and more. By using a custom classloader no changes need to be done to the IDE or continuous integration servers which simplifies adoption.Starting Price: Free -

MockK
MockK
Mocking is a technique to make testing code readable and maintainable. In three consequent articles, I would like to show the basics, features, and quirks of the MockK library. It is a new open-source library (github repository) focused on making mocking in Kotlin great. Injection first tries to match properties by name, then by class or superclass. Check the lookupType parameter for customization. Properties are injected even if private is applied. Constructors for injection are selected from the biggest number of arguments to lowest.Starting Price: Free -

XCTest
Apple
Create and run unit tests, performance tests, and UI tests for your Xcode project. Use the XCTest framework to write unit tests for your Xcode projects that integrate seamlessly with Xcode's testing workflow. Tests assert that certain conditions are satisfied during code execution, and record test failures (with optional messages) if those conditions aren’t satisfied. Tests can also measure the performance of blocks of code to check for performance regressions and can interact with an application's UI to validate user interaction flows. A test method is a small, self-contained method that tests a specific part of your code. A test case is a group of related test methods. Add test cases and test methods to a test target to confirm that your code performs as expected. The primary class for defining test cases, test methods, and performance tests. An abstract base class for creating, managing, and executing tests.Starting Price: Free -

HUnit
Hackage
HUnit is a unit testing framework for Haskell, inspired by the JUnit tool for Java. It's easy to use HUnit, assuming you are familiar with Haskell, though not necessarily with JUnit. A test-centered methodology for software development is most effective when tests are easy to create, change, and execute. The JUnit tool pioneered support for test-first development in Java. HUnit is an adaptation of JUnit to Haskell, a general-purpose, purely functional programming language. With HUnit, as with JUnit, you can easily create tests, name them, group them into suites, and execute them, with the framework checking the results automatically. Test specification in HUnit is even more concise and flexible than in JUnit, thanks to the nature of the Haskell language. HUnit currently includes only a text-based test controller, but the framework is designed for easy extension. Run the tests as a group.Starting Price: Free -
