xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesWru is compatible with xUnit |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesFront-end components can be tested with Peridot |
YesWru tests front-end components and functions, it is compatible with HTML and runs on probably all browsers |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesBack-end componets and behaviours can be tested as small units |
YesIt is used to test back-end components and behaviour and runs in server environments |

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) |
Peridot does not include mocking out of the box but there are some great tools like 'Mockery' and 'Prophecy' which Peridot intergrates very well with |
You can implement your stubs and mocks using a wru.assert(...) when necessary during a specific test. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesBy use of describe and context blocks and it has a Runner which is responsible for running a given Suite. |
