TickSpec vs Arquillian comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TickSpec and Arquillian?

	TickSpec https://github.com/fsprojects/TickSpec	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/
Programming language	.NET	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing
General info	TickSpec is a lightweight Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) framework for .Net With TickSpeck you can describe behaviour in plain text using the Gherkin business language, execute the behaviour against matching F# 'ticked' methods, or attribute-tagged C# or F# methods, run via your normal test runners or plugins and set breakpoints in the scenarios, step definitions or your code and go (setting breakpoints in the Gherkin is currently not supported in .NET Standard version)	Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional tests Arquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is a xUnit framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating feature specifications for front-end behaviour	Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end code by creating feature specifications to test back-end behaviour	Yes You can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures are available or are derived from the class FeatureFixture	Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures
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 TickSpec contains group fixtures	Yes You can define 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
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 By using a third party mocking library like moq	Yes Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with TickSpec	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests
