Lighttest vs RSpec comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Lighttest and RSpec?

	Lighttest http://asvd.github.io/lighttest	RSpec https://rspec.info
Programming language	JavaScript	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Lighttest is a JavaScript unit-testing library — it works both in browsers and under Node.js, supports flow control, and is focused on keeping the tests clear. Lighttest keeps tests clear by using a minimal syntax of the test cases, and the only testing function, lighttest.check(), is used to indicate a success or a failure. Any testing behaviour can be implemented using this function JavaScript natively meaning no additional testing API is required.	Domain Specific Language (DSL) testing solution for Ruby code It focuses on empowering Test Driven Development (TDD). RSpec contains multiple smaller libraries, which may be independently used with other testing frameworks.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes Yes, but it differs from more traiditional xUnit solutions. Its tests are written in a "Tests as Specification" manner. This means that the terminology used in RSpec is adjusted to a language more fitting for specification.
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Light Test works in the browser to test client side components and behaviours	Yes RSpec is used to primarily test the behaviour of applications or individual components so it can test front-end behaviour as well - you can use capybara gem with RSpec for that.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Light Test works with NodeJs to test back-end environments behaviours and components in short it can test any behaviour in the back-end as well as the front-end	Yes You can test server-side behaviour with Rspec
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 RSpec does contain fixture methods
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 fixture methods are supported
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	Yes RSpec contains generators for example intergration_'test_name' which will save a spec inside the spec/requests folder
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT 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)	N/A	Yes Available through rspec-mocks gem.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes Allows declaring example groups and contexts.
