General info |
SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NETSpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET which follows the BDD paradigm, and is part of the Cucumber family. SpecFlow tests are written with Gherkin, using the official Gherkin parser which allows you to write test cases using natural languages and supports over 70 languages. |
Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ that is descriptive that is; it uses strings,not identifiers , to clearly describe the behaviour you are testing it also allows you to Group tests together by creating a structure in your test files to reduce repetition and improve readability and also you Define tests at runtime |
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 |
YesFront-end behaviour is tested. With specflow specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against this |
YesYou can test your front-end code as individual components of code |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesBack-end behaviour is tested. Specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against them |
YesYou can test server-side components and functionality with Cuppa. |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBeforeTestRun and AfterTestRun are executed once for each thread which is a limitation of the current architecture. |
YesFixtures are available via the Setup and Teardown functions |
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 |
YesYou groups of tests can share these fixture methods |
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. |
YesSpecFlow contains a generator component. The SpecFlow IDE integration tries to locate the generator component in your project structure, in order to use the generator version matching the SpecFlow runtime in your project |

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) |
YesSpecflow intergrates well with mock to give it excellent mocking capabilities |
N/A |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can create test suites with specflow |
YesThis is a feature of cuppa, it allows you to group your tests together |
