You might want to check out sinon.js to help you with stubs, mocks,
spies, fake timers, fake XHR, sandboxing, ++. Works with any js
unit-testing framework.
http://sinonjs.org/

It's written by Christian Johansen, the author of the book
"Test-Driven JavaScript Development". Which explains stubs, mocks,
fakes, spies and a whole lot more related to writing and testing
JavaScript code.
