General info |
Buster.JS is a JavaScript test framework for node and browsers.Buster.JS is a new JavaScript testing framework. It does browser testing by automating test runs in actual browsers (think JsTestDriver), as well as Node.js testing. It has a bunch of great features. |
Spinach is a BDD framework on top of GherkinSpinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesBuster.Js is a xUnit style Test Framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesIt does browser testing with browser automation, QUnit style static HTML page testing, testing in headless browsers and more front-end components and functionality |
N/A |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesIt is a Node.js testing toolkit as well which means it can test back-end behaviour and functionality as well as run in a server environment |
YesYou can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
No |
Group fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests. |
N/A |

Mocks
Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed) |
Buster.JS ships with Sinon.JS. every test in a test case has a sandbox associated with it, making it easy to mock and stub |
YesSpinach can access the rspec-mocks methods |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
