Test::Unit vs Fixie comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Test::Unit and Fixie?

	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/
Programming language	Ruby	.NET
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	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	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes test-unit is a xUnit family unit testing framework for Ruby	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	It could have tested some front-end components but its now legacy hence wouldn't work with the many new front-end components	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixture methods are available through its ClassMethods Module	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them
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 fixture methods are supported	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.	No	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	LGPLv2.1, Ruby Licence	MIT 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)	No	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No	Yes You can group tests into suites
