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

	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/
Programming language	.NET	.NET
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	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing 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 unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie
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 test back-end components of your applications with fixie
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 Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them
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	MIT 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	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create your own test suites with specter	Yes You can group tests into suites
