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

	Spek https://www.spekframework.org/	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/
Programming language	Kotlin	.NET
Category	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Spek is a specification framework for Kotlin Spek is a Kotlin-based Specification Testing framework for the JVM. It works as a JUnit 5 Test Engine meaning that we can easily plug it into any project that already uses JUnit 5 to run alongside any other tests that we might have.	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 Yes you can test front-end behaviour by writing specifications to test front-end functionality. Developers can also write unit tests for individual front-end components.	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 You can test back-end behaviour and componets by writing specifications to test back-end functionality and unit tests for individual back-end components	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	Yes Fixtures are available in spek through functions suchas beforeEachTest() and afterEachTest()	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.	Yes spek has group fixtures available through the beforeGroup() and afterGroup() functions	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	Modified BSD 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)	Yes You can use the third party library mockito-kotlin	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Tests are written using nested lambdas, each scope (level) can either be a group or a test	Yes You can group tests into suites
