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. |
MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net frameworkMSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesMsTest is an xUnit type framework |
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 |
YesMsTest can test various front-end components |
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 |
YesWith MSTest you can test various back-end components individually |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesMSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the 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. |
N/A |
YesGroup fixtures are available |
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 |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesGrouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest |
