xUnit.net vs SpecFlow comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between xUnit.net and SpecFlow?

	xUnit.net https://xunit.net/	SpecFlow https://specflow.org/
Programming language	.NET	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
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,	SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET which follows the BDD paradigm, and is part of the Cucumber family. SpecFlow tests are written with Gherkin, using the official Gherkin parser which allows you to write test cases using natural languages and supports over 70 languages.
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	No
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 Front-end behaviour is tested. With specflow specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against this
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 Back-end behaviour is tested. Specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against them
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 BeforeTestRun and AfterTestRun are executed once for each thread which is a limitation of the current architecture.
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	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.		Yes SpecFlow contains a generator component. The SpecFlow IDE integration tries to locate the generator component in your project structure, in order to use the generator version matching the SpecFlow runtime in your project
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software		BSD 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 Specflow intergrates well with mock to give it excellent mocking capabilities
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes You can create test suites with specflow
