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

	JDave http://jdave.org/	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip
Programming language	Java	Ruby
Category	Acceptance Testing	Acceptance Testing, Integration Testing
General info	JDave is a BDD framework for Java JDave is inspired by RSpec and integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework and Hamcrest as matching library. It uses JUnit adapter to launch JDave specifications. This way it is possible to have IDE, build tool and coverage tool support from day one.	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 Front-end behaviour can be tested with JDave	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 JDave can test server-side behaviour	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	Apache License 2.0	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 It integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework	Yes By intergrating with RSpec turnip has access to the rspec-mocks gem
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Specifications can be grouped by tagging them with @Group annotation.	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
