Sleipnir vs Spock comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Sleipnir and Spock?

	Sleipnir https://github.com/railsware/Sleipnir	Spock http://spockframework.org/
Programming language	Swift	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for Swift Sleipnir 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 applications Spock 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	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions	Yes Spock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end	Yes Spock 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	Yes Fixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters	Yes Spock 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.	Yes Group fixtures are available through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup group fixtures	Yes You 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.	N/A	N/A

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 Yes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo.	Yes Spock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can declare example groups with Slepnir	Yes You can create suites manually in spock
