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

	NBi http://www.nbi.io/	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach
Programming language	.NET	Ruby
Category	Integration Testing, Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	NBi is an open-source framework for testing Business Intelligence solutions or validating data quality. NBi helps you to create tests targeting your databases, cubes, etls and reports. Tests are written in xml using an intuitive syntax therefore thereis no need of any development language. Nbi tests target databases, cubes, etls and reports	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.	No	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 Nbi tests Business intelligence software which retrieve, analyze, transform and report data therefore it targets databases, cubes, etls and reports and you can natively connect to any database supporting OleDb or ODBC connection	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	No	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.	No	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.	N/A	Yes Spinach has inbuilt generator methods
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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 You can create your own mock objects	Yes Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Yes, Nbi comes with a solution to automate, as much as possible, the creation of the test-suites through its user interface, named GenBI	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
