Programming language	Ruby	JavaScript
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit 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.	An extensible BDD assertion toolkit Unexpected is an extensible BDD assertion toolkit that is compatible with all test frameworks,is Node.js ready (require('unexpected')) and supports asynchronous assertions using promises among other features. It can be used with any test runner that catches exceptions, but the developer recommends Mocha, Jest or Jasmine as they are integrated tested with every release
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 Unexpected can be used in a browser environment to test front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach	Yes Unexpected is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	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.	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	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	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	N/A
