Fixie vs Sleipnir comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Fixie and Sleipnir?

	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/	Sleipnir https://github.com/railsware/Sleipnir
Programming language	.NET	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing
General info	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests	Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for Swift Sleipnir is a pure Swift BDD testing framework inspired by cedar, that is not dependent on NSObject, and does not use XCTest. Sleipnir has nice command line output and support for custom test reporters and other features, like seeded random tests invocation, focused and excluded examples/groups
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie	Yes You can test back-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them	Yes Fixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters
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 Group fixtures are available through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup 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	MIT License	MIT License
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)	N/A	Yes Yes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites	Yes You can declare example groups with Slepnir
