QUnit is a

QUnit's assertion methods follow the CommonJS unit testing specification, which itself was influenced to some degree by QUnit.

History

QUnit uses a set of assertion method to provide semantic meaning in unit tests:^[2]

• assert.ok(boolean, string) - Asserts that the provided value casts to boolean true.
• assert.equal(value1, value2, message) - Compares two values, using the
  double-equal operator
  .
• assert.deepEqual(value1, value2, message) - Compares two values based on their content, not just their identity.
• assert.strictEqual(value1, value2, message) - Strictly compares two values, using the triple-equal operator.

A basic example would be as follows:^[3]

QUnit.test('a basic test example', function (assert) {
  var obj = {};

  assert.ok(true, 'Boolean true');       // passes
  assert.ok(1, 'Number one');            // passes
  assert.ok(false, 'Boolean false');     // fails

  obj.start = 'Hello';
  obj.end = 'Ciao';
  assert.equal(obj.start, 'Hello', 'Opening greet'); // passes
  assert.equal(obj.end, 'Goodbye', 'Closing greet'); // fails
});
