xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes csUnit is an xUnit type testing framework and follows xUnit concepts
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end components can be tested with Peridot	Yes You can unit test front-end components of your applications with csUnit
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end componets and behaviours can be tested as small units	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with csUnit
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Peridot has several methods that allow one to create and define fixtures	Yes csUnit has fixture methods such as setup and teardown methods
