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

	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs	Sleipnir https://github.com/railsware/Sleipnir
Programming language	.NET	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Acceptance 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.	Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for Swift Sleipnir is a pure Swift BDD testing framework inspired by cedar, that is not dependent on NSObject, and does not use XCTest. Sleipnir has nice command line output and support for custom test reporters and other features, like seeded random tests invocation, focused and excluded examples/groups
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework	N/A
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 behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions
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 behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end
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 Fixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters
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 fixtures are available through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup group fixtures
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 Yes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	Yes You can declare example groups with Slepnir
