    Extensible: Has some really good extension support. There are libs that provide some very interesting ways to use xunit, such as Xunit.Gherkin.Quick, xunit-spec, xunit-bdd, CoreBDD, and many others

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Shouldly and xunit-spec you can also consider the following projects:

Fluent Assertions - A very extensive set of extension methods that allow you to more naturally specify the expected outcome of a TDD or BDD-style unit tests. Targets .NET Framework 4.7, as well as .NET Core 2.1, .NET Core 3.0, .NET 6, .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1. Supports the unit test frameworks MSTest2, NUnit3, XUnit2, MSpec, and NSpec3.

Xunit.Gherkin.Quick - BDD in .NET Core - using Xunit and Gherkin (compatible with both .NET Core and .NET)

xUnit - xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for .NET.

should - Should Assertion Library

NUnit - NUnit Framework

xunit-bdd - Small BDD Framework built on top of xUnit

Moq - Repo for managing Moq 4.x [Moved to: https://github.com/moq/moq]

CoreBDD - BDD framework for xUnit.net

NFluent - Smooth your .NET TDD experience with NFluent! NFluent is an ergonomic assertion library which aims to fluent your .NET TDD experience (based on simple Check.That() assertion statements). NFluent aims your tests to be fluent to write (with a super-duper-happy 'dot' auto-completion experience), fluent to read (i.e. as close as possible to plain English expression), but also fluent to troubleshoot, in a less-error-prone way comparing to the classical .NET test frameworks. NFluent is also directly inspired by the awesome Java FEST Fluent assertion/reflection library (http://fest.easytesting.org/)

Verify - Verify is a snapshot tool that simplifies the assertion of complex data models and documents.
