General info |
Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnitFixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests |
TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnitTestNG 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. |
Yesfixie is an xUnit type testing framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie |
YesThe 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 |
YesYou can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie |
YesYou 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 |
YesYes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them |
YesFixtures 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. |
N/A |
YesYou 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) |
N/A |
YesBy Use of an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
YesMultiple 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 |
