DOH vs Needle comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between DOH and Needle?

	DOH https://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/util/doh.html	Needle http://needle.spree.de/
Programming language	JavaScript	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	D.O.H means Dojo Objective Harness, it's a test framework for the DOJO web apps which tests and runs on the browser and on cloud test execution services like Browserstack Dojo is a Typescript framework build for modern web application, and D.O.H is a basically unit test library to test JavaScript functions and custom widgets	Needle is a lightweight framework for testing Java EE components outside of the container in isolation Needle reduces the test setup code by analysing dependencies and has automatic injection of mock objects by default. Therefore It will maximize the speed of development as well as the execution of unit tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes DOH is both flexible and extendable and runs in many environments including many browsers to test various front-end functionalities and components	Yes You can test front-end components and functionality by testing individual front-end classes and functions
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Pieces of back-end code can be tested with DOH as it performs Unit tests. It is flexible enough to test server-side behaviour and functionality	Yes You can test back-end components and functionality.one of needles features is database testing via a JPA (Java Persistence API) like hibernate
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	It has various fixture methods like setUp(), tearDown() and Performance test fixtures which are just like a regular test fixtures, but with extra options. Specifically, it uses 'testType' to mark it as a "perf" test, which instructs the D.O.H. runner to treat the tests as performance and use the calibrate and execute test runner	Yes It has setUp() and tearDown() functions which are mostly used to execute database operations
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.	Yes It supports group fixtures	Yes The setUp() and tearDown functions can be used to define an environment for a group of tests
Generators Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	FreeBSD License	GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1
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)	N/A	Yes One of needle's features is automatic injection of mock objects, it supports EasyMock and Mockito out of the box
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes There is a function that allows you to group tests, the 'doh.register(...)' function. It's most commonly used for registering Unit Tests	N/A
