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

	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs	RSpec https://rspec.info
Programming language	.NET	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration 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.	Domain Specific Language (DSL) testing solution for Ruby code It focuses on empowering Test Driven Development (TDD). RSpec contains multiple smaller libraries, which may be independently used with other testing frameworks.
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 Yes, but it differs from more traiditional xUnit solutions. Its tests are written in a "Tests as Specification" manner. This means that the terminology used in RSpec is adjusted to a language more fitting for specification.
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components	Yes RSpec is used to primarily test the behaviour of applications or individual components so it can test front-end behaviour as well - you can use capybara gem with RSpec for that.
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 server-side behaviour with Rspec
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 RSpec does contain fixture methods
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	Yes Group fixture methods are supported
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	Yes RSpec contains generators for example intergration_'test_name' which will save a spec inside the spec/requests folder

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 Available through rspec-mocks gem.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	Yes Allows declaring example groups and contexts.
