BeanTest vs Sinon.js comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between BeanTest and Sinon.js?

	BeanTest https://github.com/NovatecConsulting/BeanTest	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/
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	Standalone test stubs and mocks for JavaScript. Works with any unit testing framework. Sinon.js is a great library when you want to unit test your code with supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Compatible
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 Sinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support
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 Sinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and 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.
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.

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 SinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups
