Assertion library — verifies the results of a test. Chai, Should, and Expect are examples of JavaScript assertion libraries and TestNg/Junit in Java.

Mocks — used in unit testing a component. A component under test has many dependencies. These dependencies are usually replaced by stubs or mocks. Stubs simulate a dependent object. Mocks offer an additional feature over stubs. With mocks, tests can be written to verify if the component under test has called the mocks as expected.

Mocking library — facilitates the usage of mocks in unit testing. Sinon and TestDouble are commonly used JavaScript mocking libraries and mockito in Java.
