Unit Testing

General info |
Jnario is a test framework for Java focusing on the design and documentation aspects of testing Jnario is based on Xtend and consists of two domain-specific languages, one for writing readable acceptance tests, the other for succinct unit tests. Together they are well suited for behavior-driven development of Java programs. |
Needle is a lightweight framework for testing Java EE components outside of the container in isolation Needle reduces the test setup code by analysing dependencies and has automatic injection of mock objects by default. Therefore It will maximize the speed of development as well as the execution of unit tests |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
Yes It is an xUnit type testing framework |
No
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can write scenarios to test various front-end behaviours using 'Given', 'When', 'Then' steps to describe simple scenarios |
Yes You can test front-end components and functionality by testing individual front-end classes and functions |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes You can write unit tests to test server side behaviours and components using Jnario specs |
Yes You can test back-end components and functionality.one of needles features is database testing via a JPA (Java Persistence API) like hibernate |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yes It contains the Setup & Teardown functions similar to JUnit but less verbose |
Yes It has setUp() and tearDown() functions which are mostly used to execute database operations |
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 The Setup & Teardown functions can be used as group fixtures. |
Yes The setUp() and tearDown functions can be used to define an environment for a group of 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 You can implement mocking through the use of a third partylibrary like Mockito |
Yes One of needle's features is automatic injection of mock objects, it supports EasyMock and Mockito out of the box |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes Jnario Suites allows you to group multiple specifications into suites and execute them together, you do this using the suite wizard |
