What are the differences between Tacinga and Espec?

	Tacinga https://github.com/OwenMcDonnell/tacinga	Espec https://github.com/antonmi/espec
Programming language	Java	Elixir
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Tacinga is an Object-Oriented Java unit testing library	BDD driven testing framework for Elixir It is a testing framework written from scratch which is inspired by RSpec and the main idea is to close to its perfect DSL (Domain Specific Language)
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.		No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can unit test front-end components with tacinga	Yes Front-end components can be tested; there is also espec_phoenix for the Phoenix web framework
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components and functionality.with tacinga	Yes databases and server behaviour can be tested using Espec
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	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.	N/A	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	MIT License (for non-commercial use); Commercial License (for commercial use)	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)	You can use external libraries like mockit	Yes It has a Built-in mocking functionality on top of Erlang 'meck' library
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes By use of context blocksand tags functions
