What are the differences between Arquillian and BeanTest?

	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/	BeanTest https://github.com/NovatecConsulting/BeanTest
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional tests Arquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well	A testing solution for Java EE applications BeanTest is a testing solution for Java EE Applications which combines the speed of unit tests with almost the coverage of integration tests with minimal configuration and with standard and well known frameworks like JPA, CDI, Mockito and Junit
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is a xUnit framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality	Yes You can test front-end components of your EE application
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions	Yes BeanTest is used to test business logic or the back-end that is information exchange between the database and the UI
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures
Group fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests.	Yes You can define group fixtures
Generators Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way.	N/A

Mocks Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed)	Yes Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries	Yes You are able to provide your own Mocks in BeanTest to test external dependencies
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests
