Arquillian vs Cypress.io comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Arquillian and Cypress.io?

	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/	Cypress.io https://www.cypress.io/
Programming language	Java	JavaScript
Category	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing	End-to-End Testing, Intergration Testing, Unit 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	Cypress users are typically developers or QA engineers building web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks. This is the top tier UI automation framework which outsmarts Selenium based frameworks in most of the aspects! Cypress enables you to write all types of tests: 1. End-to-end tests; 2. Integration tests; 3. Unit tests; 4. Cypress can test anything that runs in a browser; Apart from that Cypress provides the Dashboard facility for CI/CD
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 This is the primary goal of Cypress, it tests anything that runs in a browser and works to build great user experience that is it tests the applications flow from beginning to end from a user's perspective. It is built to handle modern JavaScript frameworks especially well and also works equally well on older server rendered pages or applications
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 Although Cypress is not a general automation framework, nor is it a unit testing framework for your back-end services, It can test back-end behaviours for example using cy.task() command which provides a way for running Node code, so you can take actions necessary for your tests outside of the scope of Cypress
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	Yes Cypress has inbuilt fixtures capabilities or example using the command 'cy.fixture(filePath)' loads a fixed set of data located in a file
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	Yes Cypress can create group fixtures using the 'cy.fixture' command
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	MIT License
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 Cypress comes built in with the ability to stub and spy with cy.stub(), cy.spy(), It also automatically bundles 'sinon', 'lolex' and 'sinon-chai' which all work to give Cypress mocking capabilities
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests	Yes Cypress allows you to configure tests into groups however there is no way currently to run the groups
