BeanTest vs Jest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between BeanTest and Jest?

	BeanTest https://github.com/NovatecConsulting/BeanTest	Jest https://jestjs.io
Programming language	Java	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit 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	A Unit Testing framework focused on simplicity This is a Unit test framwork especially designed for the React.JS, Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular and Vue projects. It usually worked with Enzyme(Integration testing)
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 You can easily test methods, properties, UI element actions and other front-end functionalities
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 Back-end server behaviour also can be tested with Jest much in the same way as the front-end tests.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes Fixtures are supported, Jest has many helper functions such as: BeforeEach and afterEach If you have some work you need to do repeatedly for many tests, beforeAll and afterAll if you only need to do setup once, at the beginning of a file.
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 Jest supports group fixtures
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	Jest uses a custom resolver for imports in your tests making it simple to mock any object outside of your test’s scope. You can use mocked imports with the rich Mock Functions API to spy on function calls with readable test syntax.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes You can declare as many test suites as you want. Grouping of tests together is done using a describe block
