Cucumber vs Guage comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Cucumber and Guage?

	Cucumber https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby	Guage https://gauge.org/
Programming language	Ruby	.NET
Category	Acceptance Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	An automation tool for Behavior-Driven Development The specifications are written in plain texts, which allows them to be easily understandable for all stakeholders. Cucumber Framework also supports languages beyond Ruby e.g. Java, JavaScript and Scala.	Gauge is a light-weight cross-platform test automation tool for writing acceptance tests. Gauge is a free and open source framework for writing and running acceptance tests. Some of its key features include: -Simple, flexible and rich syntax based on Markdown.; -Consistent cross platform/language support for writing test code.; -A modular architecture with plugins support.
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 You can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber and selenium, they integrate well to test your front-end.	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components such as APIs using rest & soap clients, and databases using whatever client libraries were provided by the libraries that existed in those stacks	Yes You can test back-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to 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
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 Using the cucumber extension aruba you can create fixures in two steps: 1.Create a fixtures-directory; 2.Create fixture files in this directory
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 You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	GNU General Public License v3.0
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 all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock)	Yes You can create mocks using third party libraries like moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Cucumber allows the use of tag Cucumber feature files or individual tests to group tests. Then, you can pass a Cucumber tagged expression at test execution that specifies the tag (grouped) tests to run. https://www.toolsqa.com/cucumber/cucumber-tags/	Yes You can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters.
