What is used for BDD and TDD with node.js?
I'm used to use Cucumber + RSpec. What's a good combo for node.js?
thanks
Test-Driven development approach using Node JS. These steps below tell you how the JavaScript TDD approach can help you write failing tests and codes to satisfy the tests and a refractor in Node JS. The steps also help writing a new module as well as creating testing tools and principles!
Short answer, yes.
TDD is a development practice while BDD is a team methodology. In TDD, the developers write the tests while in BDD the automated specifications are created by users or testers (with developers wiring them to the code under test.) For small, co-located, developer-centric teams, TDD and BDD are effectively the same.
What are the best Node. js unit testing frameworks? According to “The State of JavaScript 2021,” the most popular JavaScript testing frameworks and libraries in 2021 were Testing Library, Vitest, Jest, Cypress, Playwright, and Storybook. Rounding out the top ten are Puppeteer, Mocha, Jasmine, AVA, and WebdriverIO.
Update
Mocha gets my vote now!
You could have a look at the testing modules section from the node.js modules page. For example Vows is a pretty popular BDD framework.
Vows is a behavior driven development framework for Node.js.
Check out mocha - (github)
Also mocha-cakes, my attempt for Cucumber syntax on mocha.
If you are used to rspec, Jasmine is pretty nice. I've not used it on Node.js, but I have used it for testing a backbone app. It's syntax is very similar to rspec. Taken from the site above:
describe("Jasmine", function() {
it("makes testing JavaScript awesome!", function() {
expect(yourCode).toBeLotsBetter();
});
});
It's listed in the link provided by Alfred above, but since folks listed Vows as an example, I figured I'd give Jasmine a bump, especially since it's syntactically similar to rspec ;)
