General info |
Turnip is a Gherkin extension for RSpecTurnip 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. |
Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntaxAVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
NoHowever Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesTurnip can perform end-to-end tests therefore test front-end components and functionality |
YesYou can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesTurnip is used to test server-side behaviour and components |
YesAva utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
No |
YesUsing Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures |
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 |
YesAva has support for group fixtures |
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 |

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) |
YesBy intergrating with RSpec turnip has access to the rspec-mocks gem |
AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesTurnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts. |
NoThere is no support for grouping tests |
