Node.js modules for unit testing

Question

Suppose I have a web application, which uses jQuery for Ajax and UI. Now I would like to add unit-tests to it. I would like the unit-tests to run in a single process without launching browsers and separate web servers and I hope it is doable with the Node.js and the following Node.js modules:

buster.js
jQuery Node.js module
jsdom Node.js module

Am I missing something? Is there any example of such unit tests?

Try the "assert" module. It's included in standard Node.js, and you can do something like:

var assert = require('assert');
assert.ok(true, 'test fails');

Well, you can write your test routines with assert, but I'd like to recommend using unit-testing frameworks - more specifically, nodeunit. There's a neat article describing how to use this module to simplify unit testing.

And may I say there's actually a bunch of threads here with (ahem...) the same question - for example, this one, with plenty of choices. )
