Karma vs Usetrace: 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 Usetrace? Web app testing system that doesn’t require coding or constant updating. Show Usetrace's artificial user how to test your web app - and she'll handle your repetitive UI testing. Usetrace doesn't require coding, and reusable modules make tests quick to create and maintain. Save your time for development while knowing that your app works after each update.
Karma and Usetrace can be categorized as "Browser Testing" tools.
Some of the features offered by Karma are:
- Test on Real Devices
- Remote Control
- Testing Framework Agnostic
On the other hand, Usetrace provides the following key features:
- No setup needed. Start immediately in your browser
- Modular parametrizable use cases
- Get reports directly in your team chat
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.
