microtest vs Vows comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between microtest and Vows?

	microtest https://github.com/rubyworks/microtest	Vows http://vowsjs.org/
Programming language	Ruby	JavaScript
Category		Functional Testing, Asynchronous Testing
General info	Minimal testing framework, compatible with Test::Unit/MiniTest	Vows is a testing framework for NodeJS applications. Vows supports Asynchronous BDD & continuous testing for two reasons first, reason is that node.js is asynchronous, and therefore our tests need to be, second,is to make test suites which target I/O libraries run much faster.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.		No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser		No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code		Yes Since it specifically tests Nodejs it tests back-end components and other server-side behaviours and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		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.		No
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.

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)
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups
