What are the differences between Turnip and JBehave?

	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip	JBehave https://jbehave.org/
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.	JBehave is a Behaviour-Driven Development testing framework for java JBehave is a Behaviour Driven Development framework. It intends to provide an intuitive and accessible way for automated acceptance testing
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 front-end behaviour (scenarios) with JBehave
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Turnip is used to test server-side behaviour and components	JBehave tests scenarios and behaviours of components, it can test back-end behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	Yes You have a few options for using fixtures in JBehave: you can run your steps before/after each scenario by using LifeCycle: you can use @BeforeStory and @AfterStory annotations or you can define a dummy scenario with your setup/teardown steps
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 define group fixtures with JBehave
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	BSD-style 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	The best way to mock is to use third party libraries like Mockito, Jmock or Jmockit
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	N/A
