XCTest Description
Run UI, performance, and unit tests on your Xcode project. You can use the XCTest framework for unit testing your Xcode projects. These tests integrate seamlessly into Xcode's test workflow. Tests verify that certain conditions are met during code execution and report failures (with optional messages), if they aren't. To validate user interaction flows, tests can interact with the UI of an application to measure code performance. A test method is a small and self-contained method that tests one part of your code. A test case is a collection of related test methods. To confirm that your code works as expected, add test cases and test method to a test target. This class is the primary one for testing, defining and executing test methods. A base class that can be used to create, manage, and execute tests.

Catch2
Catch2 is a unit testing framework in C++. However, it also offers basic micro-benchmarking and BDD macros. Catch2's greatest advantage is its simplicity and natural use. Test names don't have to be valid identifiers. Assertions look like regular C++ boolean expressions. Sections provide a convenient way to share setup and tear down code in tests. The v3 version is currently being developed and you are on the devel branch. v3 introduces a lot of changes. The most significant is that Catch2 is no more a single-header library. Catch2 behaves like a normal library with multiple headers and a separately compiled implementation. It's quick and easy to get started. You only need to download two files and add them to your project. No external dependencies. As long as C++14 can be compiled and the C++ standard library is available. You can write test cases using self-registering functions (or methods, depending on your preference).

Playwright
Playwright supports all modern rendering engines, including Chromium and WebKit. You can test on Windows, Linux, or macOS. Playwright waits for the elements to become actionable before he can take any actions. It also offers a wealth of introspection events. Combining the two reduces artificial timeouts, which is the main cause of flaky tests. Playwright assertions were created for the dynamic web. Checks are automatically retried until all conditions are met. To eliminate flaky bits, configure test retry strategy, capture execution trace and screenshots. Browsers can run web content from different origins in different ways. Playwright is compatible with modern browser architectures and runs tests out of-process. Playwright is free from the limitations of in-process test runners.

Selenium
Selenium automates browsers. That's all there is to it! It's up to you what you do with this power. It is primarily used to automate web applications for testing purposes. However, it is not limited to that. Boring web-based administration tasks are also possible (and should) be automated. Selenium WebDriver is a collection language-specific bindings that allows you to drive a browser the way it was intended to be driven. It will allow you to create robust browser-based regression automation suites, tests, scale, and distribute scripts across multiple environments. Selenium WebDriver is a Chrome and Firefox addon that allows you to quickly create bug reproduction scripts or scripts to assist in automated exploratory testing. It will record and playback all interactions with the browser. You can scale by running tests on multiple machines and managing multiple environments from one central point.

Qodo
Qodo, formerly Codium, analyzes your code to find bugs before you release. Qodo maps the behaviors of your code, identifies edge cases and tags anything suspicious. It then generates meaningful and clear unit tests that match the behavior of your code. You can see how your code behaves and how changes to your code affect the rest of the code. Code coverage is broken. Meaningful tests check functionality and give you the confidence to commit. Spend less time writing questionable tests and more time developing features that are useful to your users. Qodo analyzes your code, docstring and comments to suggest tests as you type. You only need to add them to your suite. Qodo focuses on code integrity. It generates tests that help you understand your code, find edge cases and suspicious behavior; and make your code more robust.
