General info |
Artos is an opensource BDD testing framework for writing Unit, Intergration and Functional testsArtos includes pre-configured logging framework and extent reports, utilities to write flow for manual/semi-automated testing and supports BDD testing using cucumber scripts. |
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 style framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesWith Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components |
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 test server side 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 |
N/A |
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. |
N/A |
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) |
You can use a third party library like mockito |
YesRobot can access Python's mock library for mocking |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesArtos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script |
YesOne can create a test suite with Robot |
