Turnip vs Fixie comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Turnip and Fixie?

	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/
Programming language	Ruby	.NET
Category	Acceptance Testing, Integration Testing	Unit 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.	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework
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 unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie
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 unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them
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.	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	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	Yes You can group tests into suites
