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 |
XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour (scenarios) with JBehave |
YesDevelopers can test individual front-end components with XCTest |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
JBehave tests scenarios and behaviours of components, it can test back-end behaviour |
YesYes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest |
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 |
YesXCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments |
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 |
YesGroup fixtures are available in XCTest |
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 |
YesYou can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesDevelopers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class |
