Karma vs LambdaTest: What are the differences?

What is Karma? Spectacular Test Runner for JavaScript. 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.

What is LambdaTest? Perform Cross Browser Testing on 2000+ Real Browsers and Operating System Online. LambdaTest is a cloud-based testing platform and it provides access to a powerful network cloud of 2000+ real browsers and operating system that helps testers in cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility testing.

Karma and LambdaTest belong to "Browser Testing" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Karma are:

Test on Real Devices
Remote Control
Testing Framework Agnostic

On the other hand, LambdaTest provides the following key features:

Selenium Web Automation
Real-time testing of web app on cloud based desktop and mobile browsers
Test your locally hosted web app using SSH Tunnel feature

"Test Runner" is the primary reason why developers consider Karma over the competitors, whereas "Integration with Gitlab" was stated as the key factor in picking LambdaTest.

Karma is an open source tool with 10.7K GitHub stars and 1.61K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Karma's open source repository on GitHub.

What are some alternatives to Karma and LambdaTest?

Jasmine

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.

Jest

Jest provides you with multiple layers on top of Jasmine.

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.

Protractor

Protractor is an end-to-end test framework for Angular and AngularJS applications. Protractor runs tests against your application running in a real browser, interacting with it as a user would.

Selenium

Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
