General info |
Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do. |
TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnit TestNG is similar to JUnit and NUnit but with newer functionalities such as: annotations, test that your code is multithread safe, flexible test configuration, support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), support for parameters, powerful execution model (no more TestSuite) and more... It's also designed to cover all categories of tests unit, functional, end-to-end, intergration... etc |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No
|
No
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion |
Yes The scope of testing with testNg is wide and you can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours with it |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion. |
Yes You can test server-side functionalities and behaviours with TestNg |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yes Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding fixtures |
Yes Fixtures are inbuilt into testNG, these are the annotations which are: @BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite, @BeforeTest, @AfterTest, @BeforeGroups, @AfterGroups, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod |
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 One can group fixtures in concordion |
Yes You can use various fixtures to setup environments for group tests |
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. |

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 By use of third party libraries like mockito |
Yes By Use of an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes One can group tests into suites |
Yes Multiple test cases can be grouped more easily by converting them into testng.xml file, in which you can make priorities which test case should be executed first |
