General info |
xUnit.net is aUnit testing framework for C# and .NET xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework. It is used to test C#, F#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. xUnit.net and works with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.NET and Xamarin. It is part of the .NET Foundation, |
Domain Specific Language (DSL) testing solution for Ruby code It focuses on empowering Test Driven Development (TDD). RSpec contains multiple smaller libraries, which may be independently used with other testing frameworks. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
Yes xUnit.net is part of the xUnit family of frameworks |
Yes Yes, but it differs from more traiditional xUnit solutions. Its tests are written in a "Tests as Specification" manner. This means that the terminology used in RSpec is adjusted to a language more fitting for specification. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can test various front-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework |
Yes RSpec is used to primarily test the behaviour of applications or individual components so it can test front-end behaviour as well - you can use capybara gem with RSpec for that. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes You can test various back-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework |
Yes You can test server-side behaviour with Rspec |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yes It contains class fixtures which are setup once pertest class |
Yes RSpec does contain fixture methods |
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 xUnit.net contains collection fixtures which allow you to share context among many tests |
Yes Group fixture methods are supported |
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. |
|
Yes RSpec contains generators for example intergration_'test_name' which will save a spec inside the spec/requests folder |

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 Available through rspec-mocks gem. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
Yes Allows declaring example groups and contexts. |
