General info |
NaturalSpec is a .NET Unit testing framework NaturalSpec 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 framework MSTest 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
|
Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can test front-end components with NaturalSpecit. It is a Unit testing framework therefore you can test front-end modules and classes independently |
Yes MsTest can test various front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes You can test back-end components with NaturalSpec. It is a Unit testing framework therefore you can test back-end modules and classes independently |
Yes With 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
|
Yes MSTest 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
|
Yes Group 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) |
Yes Mocks are available through third party libraries like Moq |
Yes You can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A
|
Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest |
