Detailed Comparison
JUnit is a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. | Cucumber is a tool that supports Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) - a software development process that aims to enhance software quality and reduce maintenance costs. | Combines API test-automation, mocks and performance-testing into a single, unified framework. The BDD syntax popularized by Cucumber is language-neutral, and easy for even non-programmers. Besides powerful JSON & XML assertions, you can run tests in parallel for speed - which is critical for HTTP API testing. |
| - | - | Native support for both JSON and XML;
