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

	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/	EvoSuite http://www.evosuite.org/
Programming language	.NET	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit 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	EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates unit tests for Java software EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates test cases with assertions for classes written in Java code by applying a hybrid approach that generates and optimizes whole test suites towards satisfying a coverage criterion
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	Yes Developers can create specfications of the expected front-end behaviours and test them	Yes You can test front-end code by testing the classes that provide front-end 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 test server-side functionality and components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	You can write your own fixtures but no inbuilt fixtures are provided
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	N/A
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	GNU 2.1 License
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	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create your own test suites with specter	Yes Suites are generated automatically in evosuite
