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 |
TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnit TestNG is similar to JUnit and NUnit but with newer functionalities such as: annotations, test that your code is multithread safe, flexible test configuration, support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), support for parameters, powerful execution model (no more TestSuite) and more... It's also designed to cover all categories of tests unit, functional, end-to-end, intergration... etc |
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 The scope of testing with testNg is wide and you can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours with it |
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 You can test server-side functionalities and behaviours with TestNg |
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 Fixtures are inbuilt into testNG, these are the annotations which are: @BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite, @BeforeTest, @AfterTest, @BeforeGroups, @AfterGroups, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod |
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 various fixtures to setup environments for group 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. |

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 By Use of an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A
|
Yes Multiple test cases can be grouped more easily by converting them into testng.xml file, in which you can make priorities which test case should be executed first |
