Spinach vs MSTest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Spinach and MSTest?

	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs
Programming language	Ruby	.NET
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Spinach is a BDD framework on top of Gherkin Spinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria.	MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net framework MSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	N/A	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach	Yes With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	Yes MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the 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.	No	Yes Group fixtures are available
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.	Yes Spinach has inbuilt generator methods	N/A

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 Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods	Yes You can create mock objects using the third party library moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest
