What are the differences between Espec and JSSpec?

	Espec https://github.com/antonmi/espec	JSSpec https://github.com/jsspec/jsspec
Programming language	Elixir	JavaScript
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)	Javascript BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) based test runner/framework Contextualised spec runner for JavaScript in the flavour of RSpec (Ruby Spec runner). JSSpec has got 2 really powerful features which helps you to make unit testing easier: 1) Shared examples 2) Shared contexts
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 Front-end components can be tested; there is also espec_phoenix for the Phoenix web framework	Yes JSSpec is primarily used for testing front-end/client-side components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes databases and server behaviour can be tested using Espec	No
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	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	Yes It has a module doubles (mocks/spies) for mocking and spying
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By use of context blocksand tags functions	N/A
