AVA vs LightBDD comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between AVA and LightBDD?

	AVA https://github.com/avajs/ava	LightBDD https://github.com/LightBDD/LightBDD
Programming language	JavaScript	.NET
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntax AVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently	LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable tests LightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No However Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML	No No, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie.
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava	Yes You can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Ava utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava	Yes You can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Using Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures	Yes Fixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class.
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 Ava has support for group fixtures	Yes Group fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class
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	MIT License	Proprietary 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)	AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js.	Yes Mocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No There is no support for grouping tests	Yes You can group tests into suites
