JGiven vs Spock comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between JGiven and Spock?

	JGiven http://jgiven.org/	Spock http://spockframework.org/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	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.	Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applications Spock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others
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 UI functionality or behaviour by writing scenarios that cover front-end behaviour	Yes Spock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can write 'scenarios' to test server-side behaviours	Yes Spock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes Spock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method)
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 You can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups of 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.	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 You can use third party libraries such as JMock and JMockit to mock objects and functions	Yes Spock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes You can create suites manually in spock
