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

	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/	JSSpec https://github.com/jsspec/jsspec
Programming language	Go	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit 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	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 Yes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components	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 Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components	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.	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	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 Dvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock'	Yes It has a module doubles (mocks/spies) for mocking and spying
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	N/A
