General info |
Spinach is a BDD framework on top of GherkinSpinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria. |
Specter is a behaviour-driven development framework for .NET and MonoSpecter 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 |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
N/A |
YesDevelopers can create specfications of the expected front-end behaviours and test them |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach |
YesYes developers can create specfications of the expected back-end behaviours and test these. |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
No |
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. |
No |
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. |
YesSpinach has inbuilt generator methods |

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) |
YesSpinach can access the rspec-mocks methods |
N/A |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesSpinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts. |
YesYou can create your own test suites with specter |
