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 |
Complete suite of testing facilities Minitest is small, fast, and it aims to make tests clean and readable. It supports test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), mocking, and benchmarking. |
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 MiniTest is an xUnit style framework in that is has assertion functions in the style of xUnit/TDD |
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 |
No
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes
|
Yes You can test various back-end components |
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 Minitest supports test fixture functions |
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 |
Yes Minitest has group fixtures |
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. |

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
|
Yes Mocking is available through the Minitest::Mock class which is a simple and clean mock object framework |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
No
|
Yes Allows grouping by nested Ruby classes. RSpec-like "context" method is available for spec syntax through the minitest-spec-context extension gem |
