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

	JBehave https://jbehave.org/	Testify https://github.com/Yelp/Testify
Programming language	Java	Python
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	A Python unit testing framework modelled after unittest Testify is modelled after unittest but has more features while still supporting unittest classes. It has more pythonic naming conventions, an better test runner output visually, a decorator-based approach to fixture methods among many other features
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 Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify.
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 Testify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality
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 Fixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators
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 Group fixtures are supported
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	Yes One can create generator methods to yield runnable test methods which will pick out the test methods from your TestCases, and then exclude any in any of your exclude_suites method.If there are any require_suites, it will then further limit itself to test methods in those suites.
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 It includes the turtle mock object library
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes Testify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods.
