Behat vs Jasmine comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Behat and Jasmine?

	Behat https://docs.behat.org/en/latest/	Jasmine https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Functional/Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing
General info	Behat is an open source Behavior-Driven Development framework for PHP. Behat uses the StoryBDD subtype of behaviour-driven development (the other subtype is SpecBDD); This means the tests we write with Behat look rather like stories than code. It is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber	JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runner It's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites
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 To enable Behat to test a website, you need to add Mink and a browser emulator (selenium maybe, though slow) to the mix. Mink methods are the connector between Behat and an extensive list of available drivers, and they provide a consistent testing API.	Yes Jasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Behat can be used for Data Integrity Testing to verify that database operations are functioning properly	Yes Jasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes One can use the 'Doctrinefixturesbundle' to create the required fixture loaders and load them in our Behat scenarios when required, using the 'BeforeScenario' hook.	Yes By using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML 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.	Yes Behat allows for group fixtures	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.	By use of third party libraries like moodle-behat-generators	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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)	By using third party libraries like Mock and Prophecy	By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can use tags to group features and scenarios together, independent of your file and directory structure	Yes Using the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level.
