XCTest vs Specter comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between XCTest and Specter?

	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	Swift	.NET
Category	Unit Testing, Performance Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.	Specter is a behaviour-driven development framework for .NET and Mono Specter enables behavior driven development (BDD) by allowing developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them, this is similar to test driven development however the different nomenclature makes it different from writing 'tests' for code that does not exist yet
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest	Yes Developers can create specfications of the expected front-end behaviours and test them
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest	Yes Yes developers can create specfications of the expected back-end behaviours and test these.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments	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.	Yes Group fixtures are available in XCTest	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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	BSD 3-Clause 'New' or 'Revised' License
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 You can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class	Yes You can create your own test suites with specter
