StoryPlayer vs Jasmine comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between StoryPlayer and Jasmine?

	StoryPlayer http://datasift.github.io/storyplayer/	Jasmine https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit testing, Functional Testing	Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing
General info	Storyplayer is a full-stack testing framework Storyplayer follows a TDD testing approach and makes it possible to write end-to-end tests for an entire platform. It has support for creating and destroying test environments on demand	JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runner It's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites
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	Yes By running a 'user story' which is a simple statement that describes one action, and who can perform that action then record of the conversations about this action, this is how you would test front-end functionality and components	Yes Jasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By writing a 'service story' which is a 'userstory' except it describes the behaviour of your back-end systems	Yes Jasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Storyplayer has fixtures that can create and destroy test environments on demand	Yes By using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures
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 It supports group fixtures	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 foreach(hostWithRole()) is a generator allows you to easily perform actions against all hosts in your test environment without having to hard-code the host IDs or hostnames into your story.	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)	By using a library like mockery which intergrates well with storyplayer	By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Storyplayer’s job is to execute a suite of functional tests	Yes Using the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level.
