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. |
Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS developmentThe goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesKiwi is an xUnit style framework |
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 front-end components with kiwi |
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 back-end components with kiwi |
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. |
|
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 |
Yeskiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts |
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 |
Yesthrough the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions. |

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 |
YesKiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can create test suites with specflow |
YesKiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests |
