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

	Guage https://gauge.org/	Jest https://jestjs.io
Programming language	.NET	JavaScript
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit 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.	A Unit Testing framework focused on simplicity This is a Unit test framwork especially designed for the React.JS, Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular and Vue projects. It usually worked with Enzyme(Integration testing)
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 front-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test front-end behaviour	Yes You can easily test methods, properties, UI element actions and other front-end functionalities
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 Back-end server behaviour also can be tested with Jest much in the same way as the front-end tests.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes Fixtures are supported, Jest has many helper functions such as: BeforeEach and afterEach If you have some work you need to do repeatedly for many tests, beforeAll and afterAll if you only need to do setup once, at the beginning of a file.
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 Jest supports group fixtures
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	N/A

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	Jest uses a custom resolver for imports in your tests making it simple to mock any object outside of your test’s scope. You can use mocked imports with the rich Mock Functions API to spy on function calls with readable test syntax.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters.	Yes You can declare as many test suites as you want. Grouping of tests together is done using a describe block
