General info |
Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnitFixie 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 |
MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net frameworkMSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
Yesfixie is an xUnit type testing framework |
YesMsTest is an xUnit type framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie |
YesMsTest can test various front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie |
YesWith MSTest you can test various back-end components individually |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesYes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them |
YesMSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment |
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 |

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 |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
YesGrouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest |
