General info |
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) |
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. |
No |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesIt can test front-end components of the django framework |
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 |
YesIt can test server-side behaviours of web applications written with Python |
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) |
YesThrough the use of Python's mock library |
YesRobot can access Python's mock library for mocking |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesOne can create a test suite with Robot |
