What both publish

| Purpose | Behave is a Python-style behavior-driven development tool that runs tests written in a natural-language style backed by Python code. | FitNesse is an acceptance-test wiki for specifying and verifying application acceptance criteria. |
| Security | The Behave GitHub repository has a Security tab, but the opened page did not state specific security or compliance claims. | Page security can separately restrict reading, writing, and testing, and all three protections are disabled by default. |
