Spock vs Wallaby.js comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Spock and Wallaby.js?

	Spock http://spockframework.org/	Wallaby.js https://wallabyjs.com/
Programming language	Java	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applications Spock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others	Wallaby.js is an integrated continuous testing tool for JavaScript. Wallaby.js runs your tests immediately as you change your code (you don’t even have to save the file) and reports code coverage and other results directly to your code editor. Its also uses various techniques such as dependency analysis to only execute tests affected by your code changes and parallel test execution to ensure your tests run as fast as possible.
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	Yes Spock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions	Yes Wallaby.js can test front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Spock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions	Yes Wallaby.js can 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	Yes Spock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method)	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 You can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups of tests.	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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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 Spock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries	By use of a third party library Jest works well with wallaby
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create suites manually in spock
