Turnip vs Cucumber-JVM comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Turnip and Cucumber-JVM?

	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip	Cucumber-JVM https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm
Programming language	Ruby	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing, Integration Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	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.	Cucumber-JVM is a pure Java implementation of Cucumber The specifications are written in plain texts, which allows them to be easily understandable by all stakeholders.
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 Turnip can perform end-to-end tests therefore test front-end components and functionality	Yes You can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber with serenity, they integrate well to test your front-end.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Turnip is used to test server-side behaviour and components	Yes You can test back-end components such as API's using rest&soap clients, and databases
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	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
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	Yes You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	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)	Yes By intergrating with RSpec turnip has access to the rspec-mocks gem	Yes By using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock)
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	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/
