JDave vs Ginkgo comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between JDave and Ginkgo?

	JDave http://jdave.org/	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/
Programming language	Java	Go
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	JDave is a BDD framework for Java JDave is inspired by RSpec and integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework and Hamcrest as matching library. It uses JUnit adapter to launch JDave specifications. This way it is possible to have IDE, build tool and coverage tool support from day one.	BDD testing framework for Go Ginkgo is a BDD testing framework for Go that has a great matcher library to go with it called Gomega and intergrates with the standard testing library
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 Front-end behaviour can be tested with JDave	Yes Yes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes JDave can test server-side behaviour	Yes Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	N/A
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.	N/A	N/A
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.	N/A	Yes They are available by running the command: 'ginko bootstrap'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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)	Yes It integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework	Yes Dvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock'
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Specifications can be grouped by tagging them with @Group annotation.	Yes Ginkgo allows you to group tests in 'Describe' and 'Context' container blocks. It also provides 'It' and 'Specify' blocks to hold your assertions
