| General info |
Meta gem containing Shoulda Context and Shoulda Matchers Shoulda contains two other gems: Should Context and Shoulda Matchers. Should Context allows better naming and grouping of your tests. Shoulda Matchers provides a set of "matchers", i.e. methods that allow you to write much more concise assertions. |
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. |
No
|
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 |
N/A
|
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 |
N/A
|
Yes
|
|
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A
|
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. |
N/A

|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
