Programming language	.NET	Ruby
Category	Acceptance Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable tests LightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them	An automation tool for Behavior-Driven Development The specifications are written in plain texts, which allows them to be easily understandable for all stakeholders. Cucumber Framework also supports languages beyond Ruby e.g. Java, JavaScript and Scala.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No No, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie.	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD	Yes You can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber and selenium, they integrate well to test your front-end.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD	Yes You can test back-end components such as APIs using rest & soap clients, and databases using whatever client libraries were provided by the libraries that existed in those stacks
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 available through the FeatureFixture class.
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 Group fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class	Yes Using the cucumber extension aruba you can create fixures in two steps: 1.Create a fixtures-directory; 2.Create fixture files in this directory
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 You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Proprietary 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 Mocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq	Yes By using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock)
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites	Yes Cucumber allows the use of tag Cucumber feature files or individual tests to group tests. Then, you can pass a Cucumber tagged expression at test execution that specifies the tag (grouped) tests to run. https://www.toolsqa.com/cucumber/cucumber-tags/
