Jasmine vs Intern comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Jasmine and Intern?

	Jasmine https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine	Intern https://github.com/theintern/intern
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing	Unit Testing, Functional Testing
General info	JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runner It's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites	Intern is minimal test system for JavaScript designed to write and run consistent. Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript designed to help you write and run consistent, high-quality test cases for your JavaScript libraries and applications. Using Intern we can write tests in JavaScript and TypeScript using any style like TDD, and BDD. Intern can run unit tests in most browsers that support ECMAScript
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 Jasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality	Yes Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript It Runs in the browser and can test any front-end component and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Jasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour	Yes Since it is a complete testing system that can test any type of JavaScript code, it can test server-side behaviour and components as well
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures	N/A
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	N/A
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	FreeBSD License
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)	By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests	Intern uses the Dojo Toolkit’s AMD loader. To mock, you should be able to just use the standard AMD 'map' feature, else you can use third party libraries like sinon.js
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Using the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level.	Yes You can group tests into Suites which may be specified as file paths or using glob expressions, there is typically one top-level suite per module.
