Tyrtle vs ExUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Tyrtle and ExUnit?

	Tyrtle https://github.com/spadgos/tyrtle	ExUnit https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html
Programming language	JavaScript	Elixir
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	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.	Unit testing framework for Elixir. Elixir comes bundled with ExUnit allowing developers to use all elixir features without compromising unit tests. It uses a TDD workflow, and shows one message per test
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes xUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end pieces of code can be tested, you can test various components and functionality	Yes Front-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end components and functions can be tested using tyrtle	Yes ExUnit tests backend code. Typically Unit tests will be written not to interact with the browser, but with ExUnit you can test whichever part of your application
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes ExUnit has a library called ExUnitFixtures fixtures are functions that are run before a test is run to setup the test environment or provide the test with data
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.	N/A	Yes Group fixures are possible with this library
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.	N/A	Yes Generators are found in the StreamData module
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	GNU GPL	Apache License 2.0
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)	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	Yes Mocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes Using the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests
