General info |
WebdriverIO is the next-gen WebDriver test framework for Node.js made upon SeleniumWebdriverIO is written in JavaScript and uses Selenium under the hood. It also comes with its own inbuilt test runner and supports other testing frameworks like Jasmine, Cucumber, and Mocha |
NaturalSpec is a .NET Unit testing frameworkNaturalSpec is a .NET UnitTest framework which provides automatically testable specs in natural language. NaturalSpec is based on NUnit and completely written in F# - you don't have to learn F# to use it. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
Yes |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesWebdriverIO allows the use of advanced CSS selectors and makes it easy to find elements for front-end testing |
YesYou can test front-end components with NaturalSpecit. It is a Unit testing framework therefore you can test front-end modules and classes independently |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesIt can be used to test server side behaviour and functionality |
YesYou can test back-end components with NaturalSpec. It is a Unit testing framework therefore you can test back-end modules and classes independently |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesWebdriverIO supports the creation of fixtures |
N/A |
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. |
YesWebdriverIO supports the creation of group fixtures |
N/A |
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. |

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) |
YesIt contains a mocking service called 'wdio-wiremock-service' |
YesMocks are available through third party libraries like Moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesWebdriverIO allows one to build test suites, you can run these test in parallel and organize them by adjusting the 'maxInstances' property in your config file |
