StoryPlayer vs Intern comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between StoryPlayer and Intern?

	StoryPlayer http://datasift.github.io/storyplayer/	Intern https://github.com/theintern/intern
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit testing, Functional Testing	Unit Testing, Functional Testing
General info	Storyplayer is a full-stack testing framework Storyplayer follows a TDD testing approach and makes it possible to write end-to-end tests for an entire platform. It has support for creating and destroying test environments on demand	Intern is minimal test system for JavaScript designed to write and run consistent. Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript designed to help you write and run consistent, high-quality test cases for your JavaScript libraries and applications. Using Intern we can write tests in JavaScript and TypeScript using any style like TDD, and BDD. Intern can run unit tests in most browsers that support ECMAScript
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes By running a 'user story' which is a simple statement that describes one action, and who can perform that action then record of the conversations about this action, this is how you would test front-end functionality and components	Yes Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript It Runs in the browser and can test any front-end component and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By writing a 'service story' which is a 'userstory' except it describes the behaviour of your back-end systems	Yes Since it is a complete testing system that can test any type of JavaScript code, it can test server-side behaviour and components as well
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Storyplayer has fixtures that can create and destroy test environments on demand	N/A
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 It supports group fixtures	N/A
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.	Yes foreach(hostWithRole()) is a generator allows you to easily perform actions against all hosts in your test environment without having to hard-code the host IDs or hostnames into your story.
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	New BSD License	FreeBSD License
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)	By using a library like mockery which intergrates well with storyplayer	Intern uses the Dojo Toolkit’s AMD loader. To mock, you should be able to just use the standard AMD 'map' feature, else you can use third party libraries like sinon.js
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Storyplayer’s job is to execute a suite of functional tests	Yes You can group tests into Suites which may be specified as file paths or using glob expressions, there is typically one top-level suite per module.
