General info

TMF is a minimal testing tool for ruby

TMF is a very small testing tool, it's not even a gem, you just copy the code and you're done. it uses just two methods to test: assert and stub

Autotest is a Python framework for fully automated testing

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

Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code

Yes

You can test back-end components with TMF

Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test

No

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.

No

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

Licence
Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software

Unknown

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

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups

No
