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. |
MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net frameworkMSTest 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. |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style framework |
YesMsTest is an xUnit type framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesDevelopers can test individual front-end components with XCTest |
YesMsTest can test various front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest |
YesWith 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 |
YesXCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments |
YesMSTest 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. |
YesGroup fixtures are available in XCTest |
YesGroup 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. |

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) |
YesYou can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesDevelopers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class |
YesGrouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest |
