Minitest vs Spinach comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Minitest and Spinach?

	Minitest https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach
Programming language	Ruby	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
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.	Spinach is a BDD framework on top of Gherkin Spinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria.
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	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	No	N/A
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test various back-end components	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach
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	No
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	No
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.		Yes Spinach has inbuilt generator methods
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 Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods
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 Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
