pactum VS mocha

PactumJS with JSON Schema integration.

Pactum is quite powerful allowing different kind of E2E tests, you pass the base URL to make a request and assert over the response, it has more assertion functions than supertest and also supports GraphQL

You will use Strapi to build the back-end of a simple To-Do list application. Then set up PactumJS, a testing framework to create automated tests for our back-end. We will learn the basics of Strapi while creating the back-end, dive into the basics of automated testing using PactumJS and learn about making different requests and validating the responses.

Either that, or using a tool that in my opinion is more robust, like pactum

PactumJS abstracts the challenging parts to write tests in an easy and fun way and ultimately making API Integration testing super easy.

MochaJS is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on Node.js, making it a popular choice for both backend and frontend testing. It's known for its flexibility and straightforward syntax, allowing for asynchronous testing and the use of any assertion library.

We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

JavaScript Popular tools for testing: Mocha, Jasmine, Unit JS, Jest

To execute your tests, you can create test scripts using popular testing frameworks like Mocha, Jasmine, or Jest. These frameworks provide a structured way to organize and run your tests, report results, and handle assertions.

⚗️ Mocha and Chai for testing

Testing frameworks like Jest, Mocha, and Jasmine are crucial for software development, ensuring code reliability and correctness. They offer features like test suites, test cases, assertions, and asynchronous testing support.
