mocha-parallel-tests vs Test::Unit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between mocha-parallel-tests and Test::Unit?

	mocha-parallel-tests https://www.npmjs.com/package/mocha-parallel-tests	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/
Programming language	JavaScript	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing, End-to-End Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	mocha-parallel-tests is a test runner for tests written with mocha testing framework. mocha-parallel-tests allows you to run your tests in parallel and executes each of your test files in a separate process while still maintaining the output of mocha	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.	N/A	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 Mocha-parallel-tests Runs in the browser and is used widely to test front-end components and functionality. It can test various DOM elements, front-end functions and so on.	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 Mocha-parallel-tests provides convenient ways of testing the Node server.	Yes
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Mocha, which is the the framework which mocha-parallel-tests runs provides the hooks before(), after(), beforeEach(), and afterEach() to set up preconditions and clean up after your tests	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.	Yes Group fixtures are available	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)	Provides Mocking capabilities through third party Libraries like sinon.js, simple-mock and nock	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping is supported and is accomplished by the using a nested 'describe()'	No
