Ginkgo vs Sinon.js comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Ginkgo and Sinon.js?

	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/
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	Standalone test stubs and mocks for JavaScript. Works with any unit testing framework. Sinon.js is a great library when you want to unit test your code with supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Compatible
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 Sinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components	Yes Sinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and server-side behaviour
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
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'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	New BSD License; Modified BSD 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 SinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing
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
