General info |
Spek is a specification framework for KotlinSpek 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. |
xUnit.net is aUnit testing framework for C# and .NETxUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework. It is used to test C#, F#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. xUnit.net and works with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.NET and Xamarin. It is part of the .NET Foundation, |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesxUnit.net is part of the xUnit family of frameworks |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYes 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. |
YesYou can test various front-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour and componets by writing specifications to test back-end functionality and unit tests for individual back-end components |
YesYou can test various back-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesFixtures are available in spek through functions suchas beforeEachTest() and afterEachTest() |
YesIt contains class fixtures which are setup once pertest class |
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. |
Yesspek has group fixtures available through the beforeGroup() and afterGroup() functions |
YesxUnit.net contains collection fixtures which allow you to share context among many tests |
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. |

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) |
YesYou can use the third party library mockito-kotlin |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesTests are written using nested lambdas, each scope (level) can either be a group or a test |
