Arquillian vs Tape comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Arquillian and Tape?

	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape
Programming language	Java	JavaScript
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	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is a xUnit framework	Yes It does support xUnit output
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 write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality
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 With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)
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	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality
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	No
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	No
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	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code
