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

	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	Ruby	.NET
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.	Specter is a behaviour-driven development framework for .NET and Mono Specter enables behavior driven development (BDD) by allowing developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them, this is similar to test driven development however the different nomenclature makes it different from writing 'tests' for code that does not exist yet
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 Developers can create specfications of the expected front-end behaviours and test them
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Turnip is used to test server-side behaviour and components	Yes Yes developers can create specfications of the expected back-end behaviours and test these.
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	BSD 3-Clause 'New' or 'Revised' 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 create your own test suites with specter
