General info |
Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS developmentThe goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework. |
Domain Specific Language (DSL) testing solution for Ruby codeIt focuses on empowering Test Driven Development (TDD). RSpec contains multiple smaller libraries, which may be independently used with other testing frameworks. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesKiwi is an xUnit style framework |
YesYes, but it differs from more traiditional xUnit solutions. Its tests are written in a "Tests as Specification" manner. This means that the terminology used in RSpec is adjusted to a language more fitting for specification. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end components with kiwi |
YesRSpec is used to primarily test the behaviour of applications or individual components so it can test front-end behaviour as well - you can use capybara gem with RSpec for that. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end components with kiwi |
YesYou can test server-side behaviour with Rspec |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
|
YesRSpec does contain fixture methods |
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. |
Yeskiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts |
YesGroup fixture methods are supported |
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. |
Yesthrough the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions. |
YesRSpec contains generators for example intergration_'test_name' which will save a spec inside the spec/requests folder |

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) |
YesKiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks |
YesAvailable through rspec-mocks gem. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesKiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests |
YesAllows declaring example groups and contexts. |
