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

	JBehave https://jbehave.org/	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape
Programming language	Java	JavaScript
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration 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	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It does support xUnit output
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 You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality
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 With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)
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	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality
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	No
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	BSD-style license	MIT 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)	The best way to mock is to use third party libraries like Mockito, Jmock or Jmockit	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code
