Concordion vs Minitest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Concordion and Minitest?

	Concordion https://concordion.org/	Minitest https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest
Programming language	Java	Ruby
Category		Unit Testing
General info	Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.	Complete suite of testing facilities Minitest is small, fast, and it aims to make tests clean and readable. It supports test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), mocking, and benchmarking.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes MiniTest is an xUnit style framework in that is has assertion functions in the style of xUnit/TDD
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion.	Yes You can test various back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding fixtures	Yes Minitest supports test fixture functions
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 One can group fixtures in concordion	Yes Minitest has 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 By use of third party libraries like mockito	Yes Mocking is available through the Minitest::Mock class which is a simple and clean mock object framework
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can group tests into suites	Yes Allows grouping by nested Ruby classes. RSpec-like "context" method is available for spec syntax through the minitest-spec-context extension gem
