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

	Cucumber https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-ruby	TestOOB https://pypi.org/project/testoob/
Programming language	Ruby	Python
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions
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.	Testoob is an advanced unit testing framework for Python. Testoob integrates with existing unittest test suites. It contains many features like: a filter which tests to run with regular expressions, output test results as XML/HTML/PDF, test skipping, color output on a terminal and more.
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 Testoob can test front-end features since it is a unit testing tool. One can write a test for each function that is on the client side
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 Testoob can test back-end functionality since it is a unit testing tool. One can write a test for each function in the back-end.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes TestOOB extends unittest and prepares fixtures by use of the 'setUp() function just like unittest
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	Yes The 'setUp()' function allows you to group your initialization 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.	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	Apache License 2.0
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 Mocks are available - testoob can acess library unittest.mock which is used for mocking
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 One can build suites with testoob
