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

	TickSpec https://github.com/fsprojects/TickSpec	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs
Programming language	.NET	.NET
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit 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)	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.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type 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 MsTest can test various 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 With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually
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 MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment
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 fixtures are available
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 By using a third party mocking library like moq	Yes You can create mock objects using the third party library moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with TickSpec	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest
