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

	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/	JUnit https://junit.org/junit5/
Programming language	JavaScript	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Regression 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.	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
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Compatible	Yes It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.
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	Yes You can test front-end components such as individual classes and functions that create the front-end
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 You can test classes and functions that compose the back-end such as database connections and so on
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 JUnit contains a setUp() method, which runs before every test invocation and a tearDown() method, which runs after every test method.
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.
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

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	JUnit does not support mocking internally but you can use a mock framework like Mockito to generate mock objects.
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.
