DbUnit vs TickSpec comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between DbUnit and TickSpec?

	DbUnit http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/	TickSpec https://github.com/fsprojects/TickSpec
Programming language	Java	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	Dbunit is a Junit extension for unit testing database driven programs DbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can also work with very large datasets when used in streaming mode and can also help you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values	TickSpec is a lightweight Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) framework for .Net With TickSpeck you can describe behaviour in plain text using the Gherkin business language, execute the behaviour against matching F# 'ticked' methods, or attribute-tagged C# or F# methods, run via your normal test runners or plugins and set breakpoints in the scenarios, step definitions or your code and go (setting breakpoints in the Gherkin is currently not supported in .NET Standard version)
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is a JUnit extension which is one of the most widely known members of the xUnit family	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	No	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating feature specifications for front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes its used to test database functionality	Yes You can test back-end code by creating feature specifications to test back-end behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Fixtures are available or are derived from the class FeatureFixture
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.	N/A	Yes TickSpec contains group fixtures
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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	GNU 2.1 License	Apache License 2.0
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)	No	Yes By using a third party mocking library like moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No	Yes You can create test suites with TickSpec
