Arquillian vs DbUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Arquillian and DbUnit?

	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/	DbUnit http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional tests Arquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well	Dbunit is a Junit extension for unit testing database driven programs DbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can also work with very large datasets when used in streaming mode and can also help you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is a xUnit framework	Yes It is a JUnit extension which is one of the most widely known members of the xUnit family
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions	Yes Yes its used to test database functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures	N/A
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 You can define group fixtures	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.	N/A	N/A

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 Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests	No
