What are the differences between Minitest and BeanTest?

	Minitest https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest	BeanTest https://github.com/NovatecConsulting/BeanTest
Programming language	Ruby	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Complete suite of testing facilities Minitest is small, fast, and it aims to make tests clean and readable. It supports test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), mocking, and benchmarking.	A testing solution for Java EE applications BeanTest is a testing solution for Java EE Applications which combines the speed of unit tests with almost the coverage of integration tests with minimal configuration and with standard and well known frameworks like JPA, CDI, Mockito and Junit
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MiniTest is an xUnit style framework in that is has assertion functions in the style of xUnit/TDD	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	No	Yes You can test front-end components of your EE application
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test various back-end components	Yes BeanTest is used to test business logic or the back-end that is information exchange between the database and the UI
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Minitest supports test fixture functions
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 Minitest has 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.
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	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)	Yes Mocking is available through the Minitest::Mock class which is a simple and clean mock object framework	Yes You are able to provide your own Mocks in BeanTest to test external dependencies
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Allows grouping by nested Ruby classes. RSpec-like "context" method is available for spec syntax through the minitest-spec-context extension gem
