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

	Wallaby.js https://wallabyjs.com/	Spek https://www.spekframework.org/
Programming language	JavaScript	Kotlin
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing
General info	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.	Spek is a specification framework for Kotlin Spek is a Kotlin-based Specification Testing framework for the JVM. It works as a JUnit 5 Test Engine meaning that we can easily plug it into any project that already uses JUnit 5 to run alongside any other tests that we might have.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Wallaby.js can test front-end components and functionality	Yes Yes you can test front-end behaviour by writing specifications to test front-end functionality. Developers can also write unit tests for individual front-end components.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Wallaby.js can test server behaviour and functionality	Yes You can test back-end behaviour and componets by writing specifications to test back-end functionality and unit tests for individual back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Fixtures are available in spek through functions suchas beforeEachTest() and afterEachTest()
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	Yes spek has group fixtures available through the beforeGroup() and afterGroup() functions
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	N/A	Modified BSD 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)	By use of a third party library Jest works well with wallaby	Yes You can use the third party library mockito-kotlin
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Tests are written using nested lambdas, each scope (level) can either be a group or a test
