Testify vs Turnip comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Testify and Turnip?

	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip
Programming language	Go	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing, Integration Testing
General info	A set of golang packages that has many tools for testing Go code Testify is a Go testing framework that has some great features like easier assertions, Test suite Interfaces, and Mocks	Turnip is a Gherkin extension for RSpec Turnip is an open source Ruby gem that provides a platform for acceptance tests.It combines Gherkin, a language defined by the Cucumber Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) tool to express requirements, and RSpec, an open source BDD tool for Ruby developers.
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 Yes, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components	Yes Turnip can perform end-to-end tests therefore test front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality	Yes Turnip is used to test server-side behaviour and components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	No
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.	N/A	No
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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 Its 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects	Yes By intergrating with RSpec turnip has access to the rspec-mocks gem
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Using the 'suite' package developers can build a test suite as a struct build teardown and setup methods as well as testing methods on the struct then run them with 'go test'	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
