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

	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/	NUnit https://nunit.org/
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	NUnit is an open-source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET. NUnit was Initially ported from JUnit. Tests can be run from a console runner, within Visual Studio through a Test Adapter or through 3rd party runners. Tests can be run in parallel and has Strong support for data driven tests. Unit supports multiple platforms including .NET Core, Xamarin Mobile, Compact Framework and Silverlight.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Nunit is one of many programs in the xUnit family
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 components with NUnit since it is a Unit testing framework the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently
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 back-end components with NUnit, it is a Unit testing framework hence the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently
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 NUnit contains the fixture methods SetUp to initialize your test environment and TearDown method to destroy a test environment
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 Group fixtures are available in NUnit
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	Yes You can create mock objects using the third party library moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create your own test suites with specter	Yes You can group tests into suites with NUnit
