Acceptance Testing |
|
General info |
JBehave is a Behaviour-Driven Development testing framework for javaJBehave is a Behaviour Driven Development framework. It intends to provide an intuitive and accessible way for automated acceptance testing |
Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projectsConcordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do. |
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 |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour (scenarios) with JBehave |
YesYou can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
JBehave tests scenarios and behaviours of components, it can test back-end behaviour |
YesYou can test server-side components and functionality with concordion. |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesYou have a few options for using fixtures in JBehave: you can run your steps before/after each scenario by using LifeCycle: you can use @BeforeStory and @AfterStory annotations or you can define a dummy scenario with your setup/teardown steps |
YesConcordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding fixtures |
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. |
YesYou can define group fixtures with JBehave |
YesOne can group fixtures in concordion |
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. |

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) |
The best way to mock is to use third party libraries like Mockito, Jmock or Jmockit |
YesBy use of third party libraries like mockito |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesOne can group tests into suites |
