问题
I am learning nodejs and I have a mongodb database with which i have to interact with. I am currently thinking of using mocha for a unit test framework and zombie.js for a acceptance test framework. I was wondering how could I do full scale acceptance tests which hit the mongodb database. Is there a framework/module that helps with replacing the database with a test database or does either mocha or zombie.js have functionality that can easily be used to replace the database.
Also is there a framework that is similar to the idea of factories (instead of fixtures) in creating database objects.
A similar concept that I have encountered in the rails world is in rspec, there is a spec_helper.rb file which runs before the tests are run which set the projects configuration to decide which database to hit when running tests. And it uses database_cleaner to clean out the test database before tests are run. For factories, i have used Factory girl to create factory objects from database schema again in the rails world.
Thanks

There are some

but you might want to just search on github or ask in the google group as well.

If your database access is a separate module, you can mock out the module or parts of the module (e.g., the configuration part) using one of the following:
- sinon
- rewire
- horaa
- sandboxed-module

In order to spin up a real in-memory mongodb for testing, https://github.com/nodkz/mongodb-memory-server helps as well.
