Espec vs DbUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Espec and DbUnit?

	Espec https://github.com/antonmi/espec	DbUnit http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	Elixir	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	BDD driven testing framework for Elixir It is a testing framework written from scratch which is inspired by RSpec and the main idea is to close to its perfect DSL (Domain Specific Language)	Dbunit is a Junit extension for unit testing database driven programs DbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can also work with very large datasets when used in streaming mode and can also help you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is a JUnit extension which is one of the most widely known members of the xUnit family
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end components can be tested; there is also espec_phoenix for the Phoenix web framework	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes databases and server behaviour can be tested using Espec	Yes Yes its used to test database functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	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.	N/A	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.	N/A	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 It has a Built-in mocking functionality on top of Erlang 'meck' library	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By use of context blocksand tags functions	No
