What are the differences between Shoulda and beanSpec?

	Shoulda https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda	beanSpec https://sourceforge.net/p/beanspec/wiki/Home/
Programming language	Ruby	Java
Category		Unit Testing
General info	Meta gem containing Shoulda Context and Shoulda Matchers Shoulda contains two other gems: Should Context and Shoulda Matchers. Should Context allows better naming and grouping of your tests. Shoulda Matchers provides a set of "matchers", i.e. methods that allow you to write much more concise assertions.	beanSpec is a java based testing solution that uses Behaviour Driven Development BeanSpec is a java based testing solution that is used for specifiying, checking and summarizing the behaviour of a component in a declarative, narrative style
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	N/A	Yes BeanSpec can be used to test front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	N/A	Yes BeanSpec is used to test server-side components and functionality
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	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	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)	N/A	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes	N/A
