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

	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/	Tyrtle https://github.com/spadgos/tyrtle
Programming language	Ruby	JavaScript
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	Tyrtle is a Javascript unit testing framework that emphasises simplicity, cleanliness and expressiveness. Tyrtle runs either in the browser or on NodeJS. In a CommonJS environment (eg: Node, or the browser running RequireJS), nothing is added to the global space, and with plain Javascript in the browser, only one variable is added to the window object. This keeps it clean and ensures that it won't interfere with your codebase.
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	N/A
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 Front-end pieces of code can be tested, you can test various components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes	Yes Back-end components and functions can be tested using tyrtle
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	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 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	GNU GPL
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 By using Myrtle, a sister project of Tyrtle which provides various Mocking features such as: -Mocking (spying and stubbing functions); -Mock function generation; -Timer manipulation-Speed profiling
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No	N/A
