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

	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs	Spek https://www.spekframework.org/
Programming language	.NET	Kotlin
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance 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.	Spek is a specification framework for Kotlin Spek is a Kotlin-based Specification Testing framework for the JVM. It works as a JUnit 5 Test Engine meaning that we can easily plug it into any project that already uses JUnit 5 to run alongside any other tests that we might have.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components	Yes Yes you can test front-end behaviour by writing specifications to test front-end functionality. Developers can also write unit tests for individual front-end components.
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 and componets by writing specifications to test back-end functionality and unit tests for individual back-end components
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 in spek through functions suchas beforeEachTest() and afterEachTest()
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 spek has group fixtures available through the beforeGroup() and afterGroup() functions
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 You can use the third party library mockito-kotlin
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	Yes Tests are written using nested lambdas, each scope (level) can either be a group or a test
