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

	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/	Kiwi https://github.com/kiwi-bdd/Kiwi
Programming language	JavaScript	Swift
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.	Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS development The goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Compatible	Yes Kiwi is an xUnit style framework
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 with kiwi
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 back-end components with kiwi
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	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.		Yes kiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts
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.		Yes through the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions.

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	Yes Kiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Kiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests
