General info |
Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional testsArquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well |
Robot is a Python framework used for acceptance/functional testingRobot is an automated test framework which has a simple plain text syntax and can be extended easily with Python or Java libraries. It can run on the .net-based IronPython and on Jython which is Java based. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt is a xUnit framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality |
YesRobot has a rich library and can also be easily integrated with Selenium for browser automation to test front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions |
YesRobot can be used for back-end tests as well |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBy use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures |
There is no inbuilt way to work with fixtures in Robot however it can integrate with unittest and use fixtures that way |
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. |
YesYou can define group fixtures |
By integrating with unittest |
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 |
YesRobot has a library called the Robot Framework Faker library. It contains 147 keywords used for generating random test data |

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) |
YesArquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries |
YesRobot can access Python's mock library for mocking |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesArquilian supports grouping of tests |
YesOne can create a test suite with Robot |
