Jasmine vs SinonJS: What are the differences?

Developers describe Jasmine as "DOM-less simple JavaScript testing framework". Jasmine is a Behavior Driven Development testing framework for JavaScript. It does not rely on browsers, DOM, or any JavaScript framework. Thus it's suited for websites, Node.js projects, or anywhere that JavaScript can run. On the other hand, SinonJS is detailed as "Standalone test spies, stubs and mocks for JavaScript". It is a really helpful library when you want to unit test your code. It supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js.

Jasmine and SinonJS belong to "Javascript Testing Framework" category of the tech stack.

Jasmine and SinonJS are both open source tools. Jasmine with 14.4K GitHub stars and 2.12K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than SinonJS with 7.25K GitHub stars and 714 GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Jasmine has a broader approval, being mentioned in 143 company stacks & 75 developers stacks; compared to SinonJS, which is listed in 12 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.

We use Mocha for our FDA verification testing. It's integrated into Meteor, our upstream web application framework. We like how battle tested it is, its' syntax, its' options of reporters, and countless other features. Most everybody can agree on mocha, and that gets us half-way through our FDA verification and validation (V&V) testing strategy.

What are some alternatives to Jasmine and SinonJS?

Mocha

Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on node.js and the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. Mocha tests run serially, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting, while mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases.

Jest

Jest provides you with multiple layers on top of Jasmine.

Karma

Karma is not a testing framework, nor an assertion library. Karma just launches a HTTP server, and generates the test runner HTML file you probably already know from your favourite testing framework. So for testing purposes you can use pretty much anything you like.

JavaScript

JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Git

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
