What are the differences between Tape and Cuppa?

	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape	Cuppa http://cuppa.forgerock.org/
Programming language	JavaScript	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module	Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ that is descriptive that is; it uses strings,not identifiers , to clearly describe the behaviour you are testing it also allows you to Group tests together by creating a structure in your test files to reduce repetition and improve readability and also you Define tests at runtime
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It does support xUnit output	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality	Yes You can test your front-end code as individual components of code
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with Cuppa.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality	Yes Fixtures are available via the Setup and Teardown functions
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.	No	Yes You groups of tests can share these fixture methods
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.	No	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)	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code	Yes This is a feature of cuppa, it allows you to group your tests together
