What's a simple and cool testing framework for kotlin?

[adam-mcneilly]

http://spekframework.org/ is one I hear a lot about.

I have tried a few and currently prefer jUnit5 especially the ParameterizedTests. I would be interested in other approaches.

[nfrankel]

this is not kotlin specific
but i use testng

[rednifre]

Thank you, I'll have a look at all three.

[rednifre]

Heh, Spek looks like Mocha/Jasmin!

If your project is targeting JVM there is https://github.com/kotlintest/kotlintest

I use TestNG obviously, because I’m old and set in my ways.

Junit

normal junit + https://github.com/nhaarman/mockito-kotlin for mocks

Cedric Beust's TestNG needs to get mentioned here, since its author is a big kotlin fan and it works fabulously from kotlin

[groostav]

it is also one of the things that backs the platform target-agnostic kotlin.test package for the JVM

Thanks for the kind words, @groostav

Spek is cool, and pretty simple, but if you want something simpler still, try kotlintest’s StringSpec

[cedric]

Can Spek do test groups and data providers? These items are non negotiable for me (also, parallel running)

[cedric]

Life is too short to run tests sequentially.
