I asked long ago for a comparision on EmacsWiki:

  http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/UnitTesting

However there have not been any interest in that. If have cc:ed the
unit test framework authors, maybe they want to say something.

I am not sure which of them have signed papers:

  ert: Christian Ohler
  elunit: Phil Hagelberg
  elk-test: Nikolaj Schumacher
  etest: Phil Jackson
  el-mock: rubikitch
