| Fact | Cucumber.js | Pure Test |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | The documentation shows installing `@cucumber/cucumber` as a development dependency with npm or Yarn. | The README gives `npm install @igorjs/pure-test --save-dev` as the installation command. |
| Purpose | Cucumber reads executable specifications written in plain text and checks whether software conforms to them, reporting success or failure for each scenario. | Pure Test is a minimal, zero-dependency, cross-runtime test runner. |
Cucumber.js suits JavaScript teams that want to define software behavior in Gherkin and check scenarios in development or continuous integration. It requires Node.js and npm or Yarn.
Pure Test may fit JavaScript developers who need a small runner across several runtimes and want CLI features such as sharding or file watching. Its limits matter for teams that require isolation, snapshot tests, built-in coverage, or module mocking.
