beanSpec vs Concordion comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between beanSpec and Concordion?

	beanSpec https://sourceforge.net/p/beanspec/wiki/Home/	Concordion https://concordion.org/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Unit Testing
General info	beanSpec is a java based testing solution that uses Behaviour Driven Development BeanSpec is a java based testing solution that is used for specifiying, checking and summarizing the behaviour of a component in a declarative, narrative style	Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes BeanSpec can be used to test front-end components	Yes You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes BeanSpec is used to test server-side components and functionality	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding 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.	N/A	Yes One can group fixtures in concordion
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	Apache License 2.0
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)	N/A	Yes By use of third party libraries like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes One can group tests into suites
