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

	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/	unexpected http://unexpected.js.org/
Programming language	.NET	JavaScript
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	An extensible BDD assertion toolkit Unexpected is an extensible BDD assertion toolkit that is compatible with all test frameworks,is Node.js ready (require('unexpected')) and supports asynchronous assertions using promises among other features. It can be used with any test runner that catches exceptions, but the developer recommends Mocha, Jest or Jasmine as they are integrated tested with every release
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
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 Unexpected can be used in a browser environment to test 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 Unexpected is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	N/A
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	N/A
