Fuchu vs Needle comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Fuchu and Needle?

	Fuchu https://github.com/mausch/Fuchu	Needle http://needle.spree.de/
Programming language	.NET	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Fuchu is functional test library for F# / C# / VB.NET Fuchu is a test library for .NET, that supports C# and VB.NET but with a special focus on F#. It draws heavily from Haskell's test-framework and HUnit.	Needle is a lightweight framework for testing Java EE components outside of the container in isolation Needle reduces the test setup code by analysing dependencies and has automatic injection of mock objects by default. Therefore It will maximize the speed of development as well as the execution of unit tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components by testing individual front-end classes and modules	Yes You can test front-end components and functionality by testing individual front-end classes and functions
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components by testing individual back-end classes and modules	Yes You can test back-end components and functionality.one of needles features is database testing via a JPA (Java Persistence API) like hibernate
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes It can do TestFixtureSetups (SetUp/TearDown), but not TestFixtureTearDowns (not unless you treat that test suite separately)	Yes It has setUp() and tearDown() functions which are mostly used to execute database operations
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.	Yes Group fixtures are available in Fuchu	Yes The setUp() and tearDown functions can be used to define an environment for a group of tests
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

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)	Yes You can create mock objects using the third party library moq	Yes One of needle's features is automatic injection of mock objects, it supports EasyMock and Mockito out of the box
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can organize tests in suites and give them names	N/A
