Category	Acceptance Testing	Acceptance 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.	JGiven is a BDD tool for Java in plain java. With JGiven Developers write scenarios in plain Java using a fluent, domain-specific API, JGiven generates reports that are readable by domain experts.
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 You can test UI functionality or behaviour by writing scenarios that cover front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes JDave can test server-side behaviour	Yes You can write 'scenarios' to test server-side behaviours
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	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)	Yes It integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework	Yes You can use third party libraries such as JMock and JMockit to mock objects and functions
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Specifications can be grouped by tagging them with @Group annotation.
