Gauge vs Cucumber

GAUGE	CUCUMBER	Examples in Guage(Refer project)
Run test suites on multiple environment with ease.	No such built-in feature availbale.	> gauge run --env int specs
Has the ability to combine re-usable logical groups of steps into a single unit scenarios known as concepts	No such built-in feature available.	Example1 (step *login to the url)
Both Start up (or Background steps) steps and tear down step available at specification/feature level)	Only Background steps are available at feature level.	Example3
Data driven testing can be achieved by both inline tables and csv files.	It only provides data driven test though inline tables	Example3
Parallel execution of scenarios is very simple without extra plugin	Requires extra plugins to achive that.	gauge run --parallel specs
In built facility to store run time context data.	No inbuilt object to store run time data	TestDataStore (Tests)
In build Facility to read data from external file.	No built-in Facility to read data from external file.	Example4
In build Facility to start capturing screen shots.	No built-in Facility to start capturing screen shots.	See reports
A lot More hooks like BeforeSuite/AfterSuite/BeforeSpec/AfterSpec/BeforeScenario/AfterScenario/BeforeStep/AfterStep	Limited Hooks Before/After/BeforeStep/AfterStep.	public class ExecutionHooks{ [BeforeSuite] public void BeforeSuite() { // Code for before suite } [AfterSuite] public void AfterSuite() { // Code for after suite } [BeforeSpec] public void BeforeSpec() { // Code for before spec } [AfterSpec] public void AfterSpec() { // Code for after spec } [BeforeScenario] public void BeforeScenario() { // Code for before scenario } [AfterScenario] public void AfterScenario() { // Code for after scenario } [BeforeStep] public void BeforeStep() { // Code for before step } [AfterStep] public void AfterStep() { // Code for after step }}
Built-In feature to rerun failed tests.	No Built-In feature to rerun failed tests.	> gauge run --failed
Built-In feature to continue on failures.	No Such feature available in cucumber.	Example5
