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. |
Storyplayer is a full-stack testing frameworkStoryplayer follows a TDD testing approach and makes it possible to write end-to-end tests for an entire platform. It has support for creating and destroying test environments on demand |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

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 |
YesBy running a 'user story' which is a simple statement that describes one action, and who can perform that action then record of the conversations about this action, this is how you would test front-end functionality and components |
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 |
YesBy writing a 'service story' which is a 'userstory' except it describes the behaviour of your back-end systems |
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. |
YesStoryplayer has fixtures that can create and destroy test environments on demand |
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 |
YesIt supports group fixtures |
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 |
Yesforeach(hostWithRole()) is a generator allows you to easily perform actions against all hosts in your test environment without having to hard-code the host IDs or hostnames into your story. |

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 |
By using a library like mockery which intergrates well with storyplayer |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can create test suites with specflow |
YesStoryplayer’s job is to execute a suite of functional tests |
