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 |
Selenium is an open source tool used to test web applicationsSelenium is a powerful testing tool which can send standard Python commands to different browsers, despite variations in browser design. It also provides extensions to emulate user interaction with browsers, a distribution server for scaling browser allocation, and the infrastructure for implementations of the W3C WebDriver specification that lets you write interchangeable code for all major web browsers |
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. |
No |
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 |
YesIt is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality |
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 |
YesIt can perform Unit tests and can test various components and behaviours in the backend using a BDD or TDD approach |
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. |
YesBy writing your Selenium WebDriver tests in PyTest, this gives you access to Pytest's powerful fixture model |
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. |
YesOne can group fixtures if accessing Pytest's fixture model |
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 library such as Faker or Fake-factory |

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. |
YesIt includes support for mocking |
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. |
YesBy using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily |
