What are the differences between Spinach and mocha-parallel-tests?

	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach	mocha-parallel-tests https://www.npmjs.com/package/mocha-parallel-tests
Programming language	Ruby	JavaScript
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing, End-to-End Testing
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.	mocha-parallel-tests is a test runner for tests written with mocha testing framework. mocha-parallel-tests allows you to run your tests in parallel and executes each of your test files in a separate process while still maintaining the output of mocha
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	N/A	Yes Mocha-parallel-tests Runs in the browser and is used widely to test front-end components and functionality. It can test various DOM elements, front-end functions and so on.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach	Yes Mocha-parallel-tests provides convenient ways of testing the Node server.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	Mocha, which is the the framework which mocha-parallel-tests runs provides the hooks before(), after(), beforeEach(), and afterEach() to set up preconditions and clean up after your tests
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	Yes Group fixtures are available
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

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	Provides Mocking capabilities through third party Libraries like sinon.js, simple-mock and nock
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	Yes Grouping is supported and is accomplished by the using a nested 'describe()'
