TickSpec vs Test::Unit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TickSpec and Test::Unit?

	TickSpec https://github.com/fsprojects/TickSpec	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/
Programming language	.NET	Ruby
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration 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)	Test::Unit is a unit testing framework for Ruby Test::Unit is an implementation of the xUnit testing framework for ruby which is used for Unit Testing. However Test::Unit has been left in the standard library to support legacy test suites therefore if you are writing new test code use Minitest instead of Test::Unit
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes test-unit is a xUnit family unit testing framework for Ruby
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	It could have tested some front-end components but its now legacy hence wouldn't work with the many new front-end components
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
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 Fixture methods are available through its ClassMethods Module
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 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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	LGPLv2.1, Ruby Licence
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	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with TickSpec	No
