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

	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip
Programming language	PHP	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing, Integration Testing
General info	Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing framework It is a full-featured BDD testing framework that embraces the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) design principle. Kahlan makes it possible to write unit tests using the 'describe-it' syntax and requires at least PHP 5.5	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 Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily	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 You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan	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	Yes Fixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method	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.	Yes You can write group fixtures	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 With Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking)	Yes By intergrating with RSpec turnip has access to the rspec-mocks gem
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Kahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
