What are the differences between SOAtest and Turnip?

	SOAtest https://www.parasoft.com/products/soatest	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip
Programming language	JavaScript	Ruby
Category	Functional Testing, Intergration Testing	Acceptance Testing, Integration Testing
General info	It's a web based service platform. Script-less REST and SOAP API testing, UI testing, load/performance, and security testing that’s easy to use. Parasoft SOAtest brings artificial intelligence and machine learning to functional testing, to help users test applications with multiple interfaces (UI, REST & SOAP APIs, web services, microservices, and more), simplifying automated end-to-end testing (databases, MQ, JMS, EDI, or even things like Kafka). Unlike any other API testing tool, Parasoft SOAtest mitigates the cost of re-work by proactively adjusting your library of tests as services change.	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 SOAtest is a UI and API testing framework that tests front-end functionality by capturing user interactions directly in the browser without requiring any scripting	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	No	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	No	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.	No	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.	No	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	N/A	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)	No	Yes By intergrating with RSpec turnip has access to the rspec-mocks gem
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
