JUnit vs JBehave comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between JUnit and JBehave?

	JUnit https://junit.org/junit5/	JBehave https://jbehave.org/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Regression Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	JUnit is an open source Unit testing framework for java JUnit is useful for developers to write and run repeatable tests. JUnit has been crucial in the development of test driven development and is partof the xUnit family of unit testing frameworks	JBehave is a Behaviour-Driven Development testing framework for java JBehave is a Behaviour Driven Development framework. It intends to provide an intuitive and accessible way for automated acceptance testing
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components such as individual classes and functions that create the front-end	Yes You can test front-end behaviour (scenarios) with JBehave
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test classes and functions that compose the back-end such as database connections and so on	JBehave tests scenarios and behaviours of components, it can test back-end behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes JUnit contains a setUp() method, which runs before every test invocation and a tearDown() method, which runs after every test method.	Yes You have a few options for using fixtures in JBehave: you can run your steps before/after each scenario by using LifeCycle: you can use @BeforeStory and @AfterStory annotations or you can define a dummy scenario with your setup/teardown steps
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.	Yes You can use setUp() and tearDown() inbuilt functions as group fixtures.	Yes You can define group fixtures with JBehave
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.	You can use JUnit-quickcheck to generate test data	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software		BSD-style 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)	JUnit does not support mocking internally but you can use a mock framework like Mockito to generate mock objects.	The best way to mock is to use third party libraries like Mockito, Jmock or Jmockit
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes In JUnit you can create a test suite that bundles a few unit test cases and runs them together. You use both @RunWith and @Suite annotation are used to run the suite test.	N/A
