General info |
JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runnerIt's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites |
SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NETSpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET which follows the BDD paradigm, and is part of the Cucumber family. SpecFlow tests are written with Gherkin, using the official Gherkin parser which allows you to write test cases using natural languages and supports over 70 languages. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesJasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality |
YesFront-end behaviour is tested. With specflow specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against this |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesJasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour |
YesBack-end behaviour is tested. Specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against them |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBy using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures |
YesBeforeTestRun and AfterTestRun are executed once for each thread which is a limitation of the current architecture. |
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. |

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 |
YesSpecFlow contains a generator component. The SpecFlow IDE integration tries to locate the generator component in your project structure, in order to use the generator version matching the SpecFlow runtime in your project |

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) |
By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests |
YesSpecflow intergrates well with mock to give it excellent mocking capabilities |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesUsing the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level. |
YesYou can create test suites with specflow |
