Spock vs NBi comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Spock and NBi?

	Spock http://spockframework.org/	NBi http://www.nbi.io/
Programming language	Java	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Integration Testing, Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing
General info	Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applications Spock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others	NBi is an open-source framework for testing Business Intelligence solutions or validating data quality. NBi helps you to create tests targeting your databases, cubes, etls and reports. Tests are written in xml using an intuitive syntax therefore thereis no need of any development language. Nbi tests target databases, cubes, etls and reports
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	Yes Spock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Spock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions	Yes Nbi tests Business intelligence software which retrieve, analyze, transform and report data therefore it targets databases, cubes, etls and reports and you can natively connect to any database supporting OleDb or ODBC connection
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Spock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method)	No
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 You can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups of tests.	No
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	Apache License 2.0	Apache License 2.0
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 Spock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries	Yes You can create your own mock objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create suites manually in spock	Yes Yes, Nbi comes with a solution to automate, as much as possible, the creation of the test-suites through its user interface, named GenBI
