Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code

Yes

BeanSpec is used to test server-side components and functionality

Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test

N/A

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.
