Acceptance Testing
|
| General info |
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. |
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. |

xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

No

|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test front-end behaviour |
Yes You can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber and selenium, they integrate well to test your front-end. |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes You can test back-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test back-end behaviour |
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 |
|
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. |
N/A
|
Yes You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories |

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 You can create mocks using third party libraries like moq |
Yes By using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock) |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes You can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters. |
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/ |
