Gauge VS Cucumber

[cher...@gmail.com]

Recently, i used gauge to write some web functional testing. so i came up a question: what make gauge different from other BDD tools?

I found gauge has below advantage compared with Cucumber:

Installation is easy, gauge supports install with plugin.

gauge specifications supports html view, which makes it more readable.

Cross-platform, several language support, open source, and test report, integrate with CI tools, all these characters are share by the 2 framework.

Is there any other difference between these 2 BDD framework?

Hi,

This was asked earlier, please refer to this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/getgauge/WP_ANQ0D8mQ

Cross-platform, several language support, open source, and test report, integrate with CI tools, all these characters are share by the 2 framework.

On your common characteristics, I'd just like to add the below points:

- Gauge is native cross platform, i.e. it is a native binary on Windows/Linux and OSx. It does not have any runtime dependency i.e. user does not have to install any language runtime or framework in order to use Gauge. (Although the language runners require respective language runtimes installed)

- Gauge has multiple language support, and it achieves this by defining plugins for every language. Thus a new language support is not a port from another implementation, in fact all language support share the common Gauge Core executable, thus allowing consistent features to be supported across languages and platforms.

best regards,
