Shoulda vs TickSpec comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Shoulda and TickSpec?

	Shoulda https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda	TickSpec https://github.com/fsprojects/TickSpec
Programming language	Ruby	.NET
Category		Acceptance Testing
General info	Meta gem containing Shoulda Context and Shoulda Matchers Shoulda contains two other gems: Should Context and Shoulda Matchers. Should Context allows better naming and grouping of your tests. Shoulda Matchers provides a set of "matchers", i.e. methods that allow you to write much more concise assertions.	TickSpec is a lightweight Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) framework for .Net With TickSpeck you can describe behaviour in plain text using the Gherkin business language, execute the behaviour against matching F# 'ticked' methods, or attribute-tagged C# or F# methods, run via your normal test runners or plugins and set breakpoints in the scenarios, step definitions or your code and go (setting breakpoints in the Gherkin is currently not supported in .NET Standard version)
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	N/A	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating feature specifications for front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	N/A	Yes You can test back-end code by creating feature specifications to test back-end behaviour
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 Fixtures are available or are derived from the class FeatureFixture
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 TickSpec contains group fixtures
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
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)	N/A	Yes By using a third party mocking library like moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes	Yes You can create test suites with TickSpec
Other Other useful information about the testing framework	Shoulda Context is compatible with Minitest and Test::Unit. Shoulda Matchers is compatible with RSpec and Minitest.
