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

	Sleipnir https://github.com/railsware/Sleipnir	Sinon.js https://sinonjs.org/
Programming language	Swift	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for Swift Sleipnir is a pure Swift BDD testing framework inspired by cedar, that is not dependent on NSObject, and does not use XCTest. Sleipnir has nice command line output and support for custom test reporters and other features, like seeded random tests invocation, focused and excluded examples/groups	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.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes Compatible
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions	Yes Sinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end	Yes Sinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and server-side behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters	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 Group fixtures are available through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup 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.	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	New BSD License; Modified BSD 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 Yes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo.	Yes SinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can declare example groups with Slepnir
