I like to do test driven development, and generate a lot of unit tests,
so I need a framework to organize and run them.

I need to pick one early, because some of my program fragments from
learning the language may become testable units in my actual
application. For example, I'm thinking of using a storage wrapper that I
will need in my application as my next major exercise. Writing that will
check whether I have understood the storage.

Does the group have a recommendation for a unit test framework for
JavaScript?

I am extremely familiar with JUnit, and note that JsUnit is based on it,
but I'm concerned that it may not be very actively maintained. Also,
porting something designed for one language for use with another, very
different, language does not always get the best results. If there is a
better tool for JavaScript I would be happy to learn it.
