Testify vs JBehave comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Testify and JBehave?

	Testify https://github.com/Yelp/Testify	JBehave https://jbehave.org/
Programming language	Python	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	A Python unit testing framework modelled after unittest Testify is modelled after unittest but has more features while still supporting unittest classes. It has more pythonic naming conventions, an better test runner output visually, a decorator-based approach to fixture methods among many other features	JBehave is a Behaviour-Driven Development testing framework for java JBehave is a Behaviour Driven Development framework. It intends to provide an intuitive and accessible way for automated acceptance testing
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 Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify.	Yes You can test front-end behaviour (scenarios) with JBehave
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Testify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality	JBehave tests scenarios and behaviours of components, it can test back-end behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators	Yes You have a few options for using fixtures in JBehave: you can run your steps before/after each scenario by using LifeCycle: you can use @BeforeStory and @AfterStory annotations or you can define a dummy scenario with your setup/teardown steps
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 Group fixtures are supported	Yes You can define group fixtures with JBehave
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 One can create generator methods to yield runnable test methods which will pick out the test methods from your TestCases, and then exclude any in any of your exclude_suites method.If there are any require_suites, it will then further limit itself to test methods in those suites.	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	BSD-style 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 It includes the turtle mock object library	The best way to mock is to use third party libraries like Mockito, Jmock or Jmockit
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Testify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods.	N/A
