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 |
Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applicationsSpock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others |
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 |
YesSpock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |
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 |
YesSpock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |
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 |
YesSpock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method) |
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 |
YesYou can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups of tests. |
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) |
YesYes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo. |
YesSpock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can declare example groups with Slepnir |
YesYou can create suites manually in spock |
