General info |
NaturalSpec is a .NET Unit testing frameworkNaturalSpec is a .NET UnitTest framework which provides automatically testable specs in natural language. NaturalSpec is based on NUnit and completely written in F# - you don't have to learn F# to use it. |
Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applicationsSpock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end components with NaturalSpecit. It is a Unit testing framework therefore you can test front-end modules and classes independently |
YesSpock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end components with NaturalSpec. It is a Unit testing framework therefore you can test back-end modules and classes independently |
YesSpock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesSpock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method) |
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. |
N/A |
YesYou can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups 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. |

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) |
YesMocks are available through third party libraries like Moq |
YesSpock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesYou can create suites manually in spock |
