General info |
Domain Specific Language (DSL) testing solution for Ruby codeIt focuses on empowering Test Driven Development (TDD). RSpec contains multiple smaller libraries, which may be independently used with other testing frameworks. |
LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable testsLightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesYes, but it differs from more traiditional xUnit solutions. Its tests are written in a "Tests as Specification" manner. This means that the terminology used in RSpec is adjusted to a language more fitting for specification. |
NoNo, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesRSpec is used to primarily test the behaviour of applications or individual components so it can test front-end behaviour as well - you can use capybara gem with RSpec for that. |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test server-side behaviour with Rspec |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesRSpec does contain fixture methods |
YesFixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class. |
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. |
YesGroup fixture methods are supported |
YesGroup fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class |
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. |
YesRSpec contains generators for example intergration_'test_name' which will save a spec inside the spec/requests folder |

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) |
YesAvailable through rspec-mocks gem. |
YesMocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesAllows declaring example groups and contexts. |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
