What are the differences between Tyrtle and Sinon.js?

General info	Tyrtle is a Javascript unit testing framework that emphasises simplicity, cleanliness and expressiveness. Tyrtle runs either in the browser or on NodeJS. In a CommonJS environment (eg: Node, or the browser running RequireJS), nothing is added to the global space, and with plain Javascript in the browser, only one variable is added to the window object. This keeps it clean and ensures that it won't interfere with your codebase.	Standalone test stubs and mocks for JavaScript. Works with any unit testing framework. Sinon.js is a great library when you want to unit test your code with supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	Yes Compatible
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end pieces of code can be tested, you can test various components and functionality	Yes Sinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end components and functions can be tested using tyrtle	Yes Sinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and server-side behaviour
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
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

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 By using Myrtle, a sister project of Tyrtle which provides various Mocking features such as: -Mocking (spying and stubbing functions); -Mock function generation; -Timer manipulation-Speed profiling	Yes SinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A
