Unit Testing |
General info |
Domain Specific Language (DSL) testing solution for Ruby codeIt focuses on empowering Test Driven Development (TDD). RSpec contains multiple smaller libraries, which may be independently used with other testing frameworks. |
Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ that is descriptive that is; it uses strings,not identifiers , to clearly describe the behaviour you are testing it also allows you to Group tests together by creating a structure in your test files to reduce repetition and improve readability and also you Define tests at runtime |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesYes, but it differs from more traiditional xUnit solutions. Its tests are written in a "Tests as Specification" manner. This means that the terminology used in RSpec is adjusted to a language more fitting for specification. |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesRSpec is used to primarily test the behaviour of applications or individual components so it can test front-end behaviour as well - you can use capybara gem with RSpec for that. |
YesYou can test your front-end code as individual components of code |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test server-side behaviour with Rspec |
YesYou can test server-side components and functionality with Cuppa. |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesRSpec does contain fixture methods |
YesFixtures are available via the Setup and Teardown functions |
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. |
YesGroup fixture methods are supported |
YesYou groups of tests can share these fixture methods |
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. |
YesRSpec contains generators for example intergration_'test_name' which will save a spec inside the spec/requests folder |

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) |
YesAvailable through rspec-mocks gem. |

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesAllows declaring example groups and contexts. |
YesThis is a feature of cuppa, it allows you to group your tests together |
