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

	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach
Programming language	JavaScript	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance 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.	Spinach is a BDD framework on top of Gherkin Spinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Compatible	No
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	N/A
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 any server-side behaviour with Spinach
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	No
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.		No
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 Spinach has inbuilt generator methods
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	New BSD License; Modified BSD License	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 SinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing	Yes Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
