JSSpec vs Sinon.js comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between JSSpec and Sinon.js?

	JSSpec https://github.com/jsspec/jsspec	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/
Programming language	JavaScript	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Javascript BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) based test runner/framework Contextualised spec runner for JavaScript in the flavour of RSpec (Ruby Spec runner). JSSpec has got 2 really powerful features which helps you to make unit testing easier: 1) Shared examples 2) Shared contexts	Standalone test stubs and mocks for JavaScript. Works with any unit testing framework. Sinon.js is a great library when you want to unit test your code with supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Compatible
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes JSSpec is primarily used for testing front-end/client-side components and functionality	Yes Sinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	No	Yes Sinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and server-side behaviour
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
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	N/A	New BSD License; Modified BSD 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 has a module doubles (mocks/spies) for mocking and spying	Yes SinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A
