Also check out Jasmine — http://github.com/pivotal/jasmine — an easy, framework-agnostic behavior-driven development environment for JavaScript.

Just FYI, a mock object utility is in the works for YUI Test and will be available as part of YUI 3.0 Preview Release 2. If you have any questions about YUI Test, please check out the YUI discussion list or email me directly.

Scriptaculous also includes a basic unit testing framework: http://github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/wikis/unit-testing

It’s also included in Prototype’s repository.

I think you’ve missed THE testing tool – Selenium. Take a look here:

There’s a port of the Scriptaculous/Protototype testing framework with no dependencies on prototype. JsUnitTest: http://jsunittest.com/

On top of that, you can use jShoulda (http://jshoulda.scriptia.net/) that provides nexted contexts and other niceties.

maysa – I’m familiar with Selenium but thought it was really a functional testing tool and not a unit testing tool. Did I miss something critical?

choan, kky, Nathan and Nicholas thanks for the additional frameworks.

You might also be interested in the unit testing framework that is part of qooxdoo, an open source RIA framework similar to Dojo, ExtJS, etc. but with quite a comprehensive tool chain. Try the online version of the testrunner. Hint: hit the gray arrow at the top left (should be made more obvious). It's a "play" button that runs the selected tests. To find out more about the JS classes that let you define your unit tests, see the online API viewer. For automated UI testing (based on Selenium RC), check out the Simulator project.
