Arrow
Overview
Arrow is a test framework designed to promote test-driven JavaScript development. Arrow provides a consistent test creation and execution environment for both Developers and Quality Engineers.
Arrow aims to completely remove the line between development’s Unit tests, and Functional and Integration tests by providing a uniform way to create and execute both.
Arrow itself is a thin, extensible layer that marries JavaScript, NodeJS, PhantomJS and Selenium. Arrow allows you to write tests using YUI-Test and execute those tests using NodeJS, PhantomJS or Selenium. Additionally, Arrow provides a rich mechanism for building, organizing and executing test and test scenarios.

arrow --page=testMock.html --lib=./test-lib.js test-unit.js
Unit test with selenium:
arrow --page=testMock.html --lib=./test-lib.js --driver=selenium test-unit.js
Integration test:
arrow --page=http://www.hostname.com/testpage --lib=./test-lib.js test-int.js
Integration test:
arrow --page=http://www.hostname.com/testpage --lib=./test-lib.js --driver=selenium test-int.js
