What are the differences between BeanTest and JDave?

	BeanTest https://github.com/NovatecConsulting/BeanTest	JDave http://jdave.org/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	A testing solution for Java EE applications BeanTest is a testing solution for Java EE Applications which combines the speed of unit tests with almost the coverage of integration tests with minimal configuration and with standard and well known frameworks like JPA, CDI, Mockito and Junit	JDave is a BDD framework for Java JDave is inspired by RSpec and integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework and Hamcrest as matching library. It uses JUnit adapter to launch JDave specifications. This way it is possible to have IDE, build tool and coverage tool support from day one.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components of your EE application	Yes Front-end behaviour can be tested with JDave
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes BeanTest is used to test business logic or the back-end that is information exchange between the database and the UI	Yes JDave can test server-side behaviour
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.		N/A
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

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 You are able to provide your own Mocks in BeanTest to test external dependencies	Yes It integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Specifications can be grouped by tagging them with @Group annotation.
