General info	Complete suite of testing facilities Minitest is small, fast, and it aims to make tests clean and readable. It supports test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), mocking, and benchmarking.	NUnit is an open-source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET. NUnit was Initially ported from JUnit. Tests can be run from a console runner, within Visual Studio through a Test Adapter or through 3rd party runners. Tests can be run in parallel and has Strong support for data driven tests. Unit supports multiple platforms including .NET Core, Xamarin Mobile, Compact Framework and Silverlight.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MiniTest is an xUnit style framework in that is has assertion functions in the style of xUnit/TDD	Yes Nunit is one of many programs in the xUnit family
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	No	Yes You can test front-end components with NUnit since it is a Unit testing framework the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test various back-end components	Yes You can test back-end components with NUnit, it is a Unit testing framework hence the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Minitest supports test fixture functions	Yes NUnit contains the fixture methods SetUp to initialize your test environment and TearDown method to destroy a test environment
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 Minitest has group fixtures	Yes Group fixtures are available in NUnit
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT 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 Mocking is available through the Minitest::Mock class which is a simple and clean mock object framework	Yes You can create mock objects using the third party library moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Allows grouping by nested Ruby classes. RSpec-like "context" method is available for spec syntax through the minitest-spec-context extension gem	Yes You can group tests into suites with NUnit
