Cedar vs mocha-parallel-tests comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Cedar and mocha-parallel-tests?

	Cedar https://github.com/cedarbdd/cedar	mocha-parallel-tests https://www.npmjs.com/package/mocha-parallel-tests
Programming language	Swift	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing, End-to-End Testing
General info	Cedar is a BDD-style testing for swift using Objective-C Cedar is a BDD-style Objective-C/Swift testing framework that has an expressive matcher DSL and convenient test doubles (mocks). It provides better organizational facilities than the tools provided by XCTest/OCUnit In environments where C++ is available, it provides powerful built-in matchers, test doubles and fakes	mocha-parallel-tests is a test runner for tests written with mocha testing framework. mocha-parallel-tests allows you to run your tests in parallel and executes each of your test files in a separate process while still maintaining the output of mocha
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Cedar is an xUnit style framework	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components and behaviour with Cedar, its language is biased towards describing the behavior of your objects.	Yes Mocha-parallel-tests Runs in the browser and is used widely to test front-end components and functionality. It can test various DOM elements, front-end functions and so on.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components with a bias towards their expected behaviour. Cedar specs also allow you to nest contexts so that it is easier to understand how your object behaves in different scenarios	Yes Mocha-parallel-tests provides convenient ways of testing the Node server.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Cedar has beforeEach and afterEach class methods which Cedar will look for on every class it loads. You can add these onto any class you compile into your specs and Cedar will run them	Mocha, which is the the framework which mocha-parallel-tests runs provides the hooks before(), after(), beforeEach(), and afterEach() to set up preconditions and clean up after your tests
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 Group fixtures are available
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	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)	Yes Cedar contains inbuilt mock/test double functionality	Provides Mocking capabilities through third party Libraries like sinon.js, simple-mock and nock
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Cedar supports shared example groups. You can declare them in one of two ways: either inline with your spec declarations, or separately.	Yes Grouping is supported and is accomplished by the using a nested 'describe()'
