| General info |
Test::Unit is a unit testing framework for Ruby Test::Unit is an implementation of the xUnit testing framework for ruby which is used for Unit Testing. However Test::Unit has been left in the standard library to support legacy test suites therefore if you are writing new test code use Minitest instead of Test::Unit |
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. |
Yes test-unit is a xUnit family unit testing framework for Ruby |
No
|
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
It could have tested some front-end components but its now legacy hence wouldn't work with the many new front-end components |
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
|
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 Fixture methods are available through its ClassMethods Module |
|
|
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 fixture methods are supported |
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. |
No
|
Yes You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories |

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 using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock) |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
No
|
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/ |
