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

	Tyrtle https://github.com/spadgos/tyrtle	TickSpec https://github.com/fsprojects/TickSpec
Programming language	JavaScript	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	Tyrtle is a Javascript unit testing framework that emphasises simplicity, cleanliness and expressiveness. Tyrtle runs either in the browser or on NodeJS. In a CommonJS environment (eg: Node, or the browser running RequireJS), nothing is added to the global space, and with plain Javascript in the browser, only one variable is added to the window object. This keeps it clean and ensures that it won't interfere with your codebase.	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)
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end pieces of code can be tested, you can test various components and functionality	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating feature specifications for front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end components and functions can be tested using tyrtle	Yes You can test back-end code by creating feature specifications to test back-end behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Fixtures are available or are derived from the class FeatureFixture
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.	N/A	Yes TickSpec contains 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 By using Myrtle, a sister project of Tyrtle which provides various Mocking features such as: -Mocking (spying and stubbing functions); -Mock function generation; -Timer manipulation-Speed profiling	Yes By using a third party mocking library like moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can create test suites with TickSpec
