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

	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip	Hound https://github.com/HashNuke/hound
Programming language	Ruby	Elixir
Category	Acceptance Testing, Integration Testing	Browser Automation, Intergration 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.	Elixir library for browser automation and writing intergration tests It is a front-end testing library that has support for: Selenium (Firefox, Chrome), ChromeDriver and PhantomJs. Also supports JavaScript applications and retries tests a few times before reporting errors
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 Allows for browser Automation and writing of end-to-end tests for web apps, supports Selenium WebDriver, ChromeDriver, and PhantomJS - GhostDriver
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Turnip is used to test server-side behaviour and components	N/A
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.	No	Yes Not inbuilt but by use of a third party library like ExopData
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 Yes, through the use of a third party library like Mockery
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	N/A
