ExUnit vs Unitils comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between ExUnit and Unitils?

	ExUnit https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html	Unitils http://www.unitils.org/summary.html
Programming language	Elixir	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration 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	Unitils is an open source library whose goal is to make unit and integration testing easy and maintainable. Unitils is divided into modules, each of them providing support for a certain aspect of your unit and integration tests. For example if you need mocking for your tests, just include unitils-mock as a dependency, If you would also want to load DbUnit data sets, just include unitils-dbunit
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes xUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework	Yes You can perform unit tests on various components and functionality that make up the front-end
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes ExUnit 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	Yes Unitils provides support for testing the back-end through modules such as DbUnit which specifically tests your database, i.e connections setup and so on
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes ExUnit 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
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 Group fixures are possible with this library
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.	Yes Generators are found in the StreamData module
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0
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 Mocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Using the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests
