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

	JDave http://jdave.org/	Sleipnir https://github.com/railsware/Sleipnir
Programming language	Java	Swift
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit 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.	Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for Swift Sleipnir is a pure Swift BDD testing framework inspired by cedar, that is not dependent on NSObject, and does not use XCTest. Sleipnir has nice command line output and support for custom test reporters and other features, like seeded random tests invocation, focused and excluded examples/groups
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
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 front-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes JDave can test server-side behaviour	Yes You can test back-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Fixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters
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	Yes Group fixtures are available through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup group fixtures
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

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 Yes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Specifications can be grouped by tagging them with @Group annotation.	Yes You can declare example groups with Slepnir
