General info	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.	JGiven is a BDD tool for Java in plain java. With JGiven Developers write scenarios in plain Java using a fluent, domain-specific API, JGiven generates reports that are readable by domain experts.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	N/A	Yes You can test UI functionality or behaviour by writing scenarios that cover front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach	Yes You can write 'scenarios' to test server-side behaviours
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	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	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.	Yes Spinach has inbuilt generator methods	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	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 Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods	Yes You can use third party libraries such as JMock and JMockit to mock objects and functions
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
