Specter vs Arquillian comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Specter and Arquillian?

	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/
Programming language	.NET	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing
General info	Specter is a behaviour-driven development framework for .NET and Mono Specter enables behavior driven development (BDD) by allowing developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them, this is similar to test driven development however the different nomenclature makes it different from writing 'tests' for code that does not exist yet	Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional tests Arquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is a xUnit framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Developers can create specfications of the expected front-end behaviours and test them	Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes developers can create specfications of the expected back-end behaviours and test these.	Yes You can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end 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	N/A	Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures
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	Yes You can define 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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	BSD 3-Clause 'New' or 'Revised' License	Apache License 2.0
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)	N/A	Yes Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create your own test suites with specter	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests
