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

	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/	DbUnit http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	JavaScript	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	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.	Dbunit is a Junit extension for unit testing database driven programs DbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can also work with very large datasets when used in streaming mode and can also help you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Compatible	Yes It is a JUnit extension which is one of the most widely known members of the xUnit family
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Sinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Sinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and server-side behaviour	Yes Yes its used to test database 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
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	New BSD License; Modified BSD License	GNU 2.1 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 SinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		No
