Jnario vs Specter comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Jnario and Specter?

	Jnario http://jnario.org/	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	Java	.NET
Category	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	Jnario is a test framework for Java focusing on the design and documentation aspects of testing Jnario is based on Xtend and consists of two domain-specific languages, one for writing readable acceptance tests, the other for succinct unit tests. Together they are well suited for behavior-driven development of Java programs.	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.	Yes It is an xUnit type testing framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write scenarios to test various front-end behaviours using 'Given', 'When', 'Then' steps to describe simple scenarios	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 write unit tests to test server side behaviours and components using Jnario specs	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	Yes It contains the Setup & Teardown functions similar to JUnit but less verbose	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.	Yes The Setup & Teardown functions can be used as group fixtures.	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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Eclipse Public License v1.0	BSD 3-Clause 'New' or 'Revised' 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)	Yes You can implement mocking through the use of a third partylibrary like Mockito	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Jnario Suites allows you to group multiple specifications into suites and execute them together, you do this using the suite wizard	Yes You can create your own test suites with specter
