Acceptance Testing
|
General info |
Gauge is a light-weight cross-platform test automation tool for writing acceptance tests. Gauge is a free and open source framework for writing and running acceptance tests. Some of its key features include: -Simple, flexible and rich syntax based on Markdown.; -Consistent cross platform/language support for writing test code.; -A modular architecture with plugins support. |
Specter is a behaviour-driven development framework for .NET and Mono Specter enables behavior driven development (BDD) by allowing developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them, this is similar to test driven development however the different nomenclature makes it different from writing 'tests' for code that does not exist yet |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test front-end behaviour |
Yes Developers can create specfications of the expected front-end behaviours and test them |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes You can test back-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test back-end behaviour |
Yes Yes developers can create specfications of the expected back-end behaviours and test these. |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
|
N/A
|
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
|
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. |

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 mocks using third party libraries like moq |
N/A
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes You can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters. |
Yes You can create your own test suites with specter |
