General info |
JUnit is an open source Unit testing framework for javaJUnit is useful for developers to write and run repeatable tests. JUnit has been crucial in the development of test driven development and is partof the xUnit family of unit testing frameworks |
Lettuce is a BDD testing tool for PythonLettuce is a testing tool for Python which is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber that supports Gherkin. It can execute plain-text functional descriptions as automated tests for Python projects just like Cucumber does for Ruby |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. |
NoHowever It can generate xml results for behaviour tests xUnit style |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end components such as individual classes and functions that create the front-end |
YesBy integrating Lettuce with Selenium’s Python bindings, you have a robust framework for testing Django applications. It can test front-end behaviour |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test classes and functions that compose the back-end such as database connections and so on |
YesLettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesJUnit contains a setUp() method, which runs before every test invocation and a tearDown() method, which runs after every test method. |
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. |
YesYou can use setUp() and tearDown() inbuilt functions as group fixtures. |
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. |
You can use JUnit-quickcheck to generate test data |
YesBy using a third party library |
Licence
Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software |

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) |
JUnit does not support mocking internally but you can use a mock framework like Mockito to generate mock objects. |
By adding the lettuce-tools library one has access to the Mock module to implement a configurable http REST mock. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesIn JUnit you can create a test suite that bundles a few unit test cases and runs them together. You use both @RunWith and @Suite annotation are used to run the suite test. |
YesIt allows grouping of tests |
