Unit Testing |
General info |
Unit testing framework for Elixir.Elixir comes bundled with ExUnit allowing developers to use all elixir features without compromising unit tests. It uses a TDD workflow, and shows one message per test |
Green is a clean, colorful, fast Python test runnerThis is a test runner that has pretty printing on output that makes results easy to read and understand. Some of its features include: Tests running in independent processes (fast), low redundancy in output (clean), supports pretty printing that is the terminal output, makes good use of color when the terminal supports it (colorful) |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesxUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesFront-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework |
YesIt can test front-end components of the django framework |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesExUnit tests backend code. Typically Unit tests will be written not to interact with the browser, but with ExUnit you can test whichever part of your application |
YesIt can test server-side behaviours of web applications written with Python |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesExUnit has a library called ExUnitFixtures fixtures are functions that are run before a test is run to setup the test environment or provide the test with data |
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. |
YesGroup fixures are possible with this library |
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. |
YesGenerators are found in the StreamData module |

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) |
YesMocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest |
YesThrough the use of Python's mock library |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesUsing the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests |
