Spinach vs Lettuce comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Spinach and Lettuce?

	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach	Lettuce https://pypi.org/project/lettuce/
Programming language	Ruby	Python
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing
General info	Spinach is a BDD framework on top of Gherkin Spinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria.	Lettuce is a BDD testing tool for Python Lettuce is a testing tool for Python which is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber that supports Gherkin. It can execute plain-text functional descriptions as automated tests for Python projects just like Cucumber does for Ruby
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No However It can generate xml results for behaviour tests xUnit style
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	N/A	Yes By integrating Lettuce with Selenium’s Python bindings, you have a robust framework for testing Django applications. It can test front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach	Yes Lettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	N/A
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	N/A
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.	Yes Spinach has inbuilt generator methods	Yes By using a third party library
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Unknown
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 Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods	By adding the lettuce-tools library one has access to the Mock module to implement a configurable http REST mock.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	Yes It allows grouping of tests
