Ginkgo vs JGiven comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Ginkgo and JGiven?

	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/	JGiven http://jgiven.org/
Programming language	Go	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	BDD testing framework for Go Ginkgo is a BDD testing framework for Go that has a great matcher library to go with it called Gomega and intergrates with the standard testing library	JGiven is a BDD tool for Java in plain java. With JGiven Developers write scenarios in plain Java using a fluent, domain-specific API, JGiven generates reports that are readable by domain experts.
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 Yes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components	Yes You can test UI functionality or behaviour by writing scenarios that cover front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components	Yes You can write 'scenarios' to test server-side behaviours
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	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.	Yes They are available by running the command: 'ginko bootstrap'	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	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 Dvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock'	Yes You can use third party libraries such as JMock and JMockit to mock objects and functions
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Ginkgo allows you to group tests in 'Describe' and 'Context' container blocks. It also provides 'It' and 'Specify' blocks to hold your assertions
