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

	Guage https://gauge.org/	StoryPlayer http://datasift.github.io/storyplayer/
Programming language	.NET	PHP
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit testing, Functional 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.	Storyplayer is a full-stack testing framework Storyplayer follows a TDD testing approach and makes it possible to write end-to-end tests for an entire platform. It has support for creating and destroying test environments on demand
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 By running a 'user story' which is a simple statement that describes one action, and who can perform that action then record of the conversations about this action, this is how you would test front-end functionality and components
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 By writing a 'service story' which is a 'userstory' except it describes the behaviour of your back-end systems
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes Storyplayer has fixtures that can create and destroy test environments on demand
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 It 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	Yes foreach(hostWithRole()) is a generator allows you to easily perform actions against all hosts in your test environment without having to hard-code the host IDs or hostnames into your story.

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	By using a library like mockery which intergrates well with storyplayer
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters.	Yes Storyplayer’s job is to execute a suite of functional tests
