General info |
An automation tool for Behavior-Driven DevelopmentThe 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. |
Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS developmentThe goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesKiwi is an xUnit style framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber and selenium, they integrate well to test your front-end. |
YesYou can test front-end components with kiwi |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou 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 |
YesYou can test back-end components with kiwi |
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. |
YesUsing the cucumber extension aruba you can create fixures in two steps: 1.Create a fixtures-directory; 2.Create fixture files in this directory |
Yeskiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts |
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. |
YesYou can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories |
Yesthrough the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions. |

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) |
YesBy using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock) |
YesKiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesCucumber 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/ |
YesKiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests |
