QUnit: A simple look at the jQuery unit test framework

<p>

Chad Myers has a simple look at GUnit, the jQuery based unit test framework. His article explains how to get going, and walks through a test like this:

PLAIN TEXT

JAVASCRIPT:

module("Show and Hide");
test("should hide the element when hide is called", function(){
$("#testDiv").hide();
// actual, expected
equals($("#testDiv").css("display"), "none", "The element should be hidden");
});
test("should show the element when show is called", function(){
// Arrange
$("#testDiv").css("display", "none");
// Act
$("#testDiv").show();
// Assert
// actual, expected
equals($("#testDiv").css("display"), "block", "The element should be visible");
});

Which would you choose if you were starting a project today? jqUnit?
Comment by Nosredna — September 3, 2008: I don’t think there is noticeable difference for *new* project. If you don’t have old tests written in JSUnit, then both are the same for you. At the same time, both libraries are not that well documented, so there could be some subtle differences (I didn’t have time to compare code closely).
