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

	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs	Cedar https://github.com/cedarbdd/cedar
Programming language	.NET	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	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.	Cedar is a BDD-style testing for swift using Objective-C Cedar is a BDD-style Objective-C/Swift testing framework that has an expressive matcher DSL and convenient test doubles (mocks). It provides better organizational facilities than the tools provided by XCTest/OCUnit In environments where C++ is available, it provides powerful built-in matchers, test doubles and fakes
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework	Yes Cedar is an xUnit style framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components	Yes You can test front-end components and behaviour with Cedar, its language is biased towards describing the behavior of your objects.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually	Yes You can test back-end components with a bias towards their expected behaviour. Cedar specs also allow you to nest contexts so that it is easier to understand how your object behaves in different scenarios
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment	Yes Cedar has beforeEach and afterEach class methods which Cedar will look for on every class it loads. You can add these onto any class you compile into your specs and Cedar will run 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 Group fixtures are available	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

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 create mock objects using the third party library moq	Yes Cedar contains inbuilt mock/test double functionality
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	Yes Cedar supports shared example groups. You can declare them in one of two ways: either inline with your spec declarations, or separately.
