AVA vs Venus.js: What are the differences?
AVA: A refined, futuristic test runner. Even though JavaScript is single-threaded, IO in Node.js can happen in parallel due to its async nature. AVA takes advantage of this and runs your tests concurrently, which is especially beneficial for IO heavy tests. In addition, test files are run in parallel as separate processes, giving you even better performance and an isolated environment for each test file; Venus.js: *Where bugs go to die *. It is a testing tool for JavaScript (JS), which simplifies running unit tests. When you are developing a browser-based project in JS, you'll want to create unit tests and run them frequently. Typically, you'll write a unit test using some library, such as Mocha or Jasmine. These libraries let you define testcases (or "specs" if you are following a BDD style), and provide APIs for writing assertions.
AVA and Venus.js belong to "Javascript Testing Framework" category of the tech stack.
AVA is an open source tool with 17.9K GitHub stars and 1.23K GitHub forks. Here's a link to AVA's open source repository on GitHub.
