Fixie vs Test::Unit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Fixie and Test::Unit?

	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/
Programming language	.NET	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests	Test::Unit is a unit testing framework for Ruby Test::Unit is an implementation of the xUnit testing framework for ruby which is used for Unit Testing. However Test::Unit has been left in the standard library to support legacy test suites therefore if you are writing new test code use Minitest instead of Test::Unit
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework	Yes test-unit is a xUnit family unit testing framework for Ruby
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie	It could have tested some front-end components but its now legacy hence wouldn't work with the many new front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie	Yes
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them	Yes Fixture methods are available through its ClassMethods Module
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	Yes Group fixture methods are supported
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	LGPLv2.1, Ruby Licence
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	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites	No
