JBehave vs Spock comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between JBehave and Spock?

	JBehave https://jbehave.org/	Spock http://spockframework.org/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	JBehave is a Behaviour-Driven Development testing framework for java JBehave is a Behaviour Driven Development framework. It intends to provide an intuitive and accessible way for automated acceptance testing	Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applications Spock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others
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 You can test front-end behaviour (scenarios) with JBehave	Yes Spock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	JBehave tests scenarios and behaviours of components, it can test back-end behaviour	Yes Spock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes You 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	Yes Spock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method)
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.	Yes You can define group fixtures with JBehave	Yes You can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups of tests.
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.	No	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	BSD-style license	Apache License 2.0
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	Yes Spock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can create suites manually in spock
