Jasmine vs JDave comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Jasmine and JDave?

	Jasmine https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine	JDave http://jdave.org/
Programming language	JavaScript	Java
Category	Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runner It's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites	JDave is a BDD framework for Java JDave is inspired by RSpec and integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework and Hamcrest as matching library. It uses JUnit adapter to launch JDave specifications. This way it is possible to have IDE, build tool and coverage tool support from day one.
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 Jasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality	Yes Front-end behaviour can be tested with JDave
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Jasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour	Yes JDave can test 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	Yes By using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures	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)	By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests	Yes It integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Using the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level.	Yes Specifications can be grouped by tagging them with @Group annotation.
