General info |
Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for SwiftSleipnir is a pure Swift BDD testing framework inspired by cedar, that is not dependent on NSObject, and does not use XCTest. Sleipnir has nice command line output and support for custom test reporters and other features, like seeded random tests invocation, focused and excluded examples/groups |
Spinach is a BDD framework on top of GherkinSpinach 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. |
N/A |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions |
N/A |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end |
YesYou 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 |
YesFixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters |
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. |
YesGroup fixtures are available through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup group fixtures |
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 |
YesSpinach has inbuilt generator methods |

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) |
YesYes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo. |
YesSpinach can access the rspec-mocks methods |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can declare example groups with Slepnir |
YesSpinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts. |
