AgitarOne vs. Apache AntUnit vs. JavaScript vs. NUnit Comparison Chart

Initially all tests for Apache Ant tasks were written as individual JUnit test cases. Pretty soon it was clear that most tests needed to perform common tasks like reading a build file, initializing a project instance with it and executing a target. At this point BuildFileTest was invented, a base class for almost all task test cases. BuildFileTest works fine and in fact has been picked up by the Ant-Contrib Project and others as well. This approach has a couple of advantages, one of them is that it is very easy to translate an example build file from a bug report into a test case. If you ask a user for a testcase for a given bug in Ant, he now doesn't need to understand JUnit or how to fit a test into Ant's existing tests any more. AntUnit takes this approach to testing even further, it removes JUnit completely and it comes with a set of predefined <assert> tasks in order to reuse common kind of checks.

NUnit is a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages. Initially ported from JUnit, the current production release, version 3, has been completely rewritten with many new features and support for a wide range of .NET platforms. The NUnit Project is a member of the .NET Foundation. The .NET Foundation will provide guidance and support to help ensure the future of the project. The success of NUnit has been made possible through the hard work of our many contributors and team members. The Core Team thanks everyone for the help and contributions that have made NUnit the success that it is. At last count, the various NUnit packages passed 126 million downloads on NuGet.org. We couldn't have done that without the dedication of the many volunteers that donate their time and knowledge to the project. NUnit is Open Source software and NUnit 3 is released under the MIT license.
