JS test framework that works with Deferreds/Promises

I am looking for a JavaScript test framework that natively works with Deferreds/Promises.

That is: my test case functions will return a Deferred (e.g. jQuery Deferred or whenjs) that when fires will yield true or false (success/failure).

A framework that only provides mechanisms to test specific async stuff like AJAX is not sufficient.

Jasmine can be easily patched to allow promises to be returned from it blocks. This is how we do it Montage: https://github.com/montagejs/montage/blob/master/test/support/spec-helper.js#L96-120. The spec is failed if the promise is rejected or is fulfilled with a value (not undefined). You can adapt it as needed.

Buster, another test framework, natively supports specs returning promises.
