Unit Testing |
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 |
A Python unit testing framework modelled after unittestTestify is modelled after unittest but has more features while still supporting unittest classes. It has more pythonic naming conventions, an better test runner output visually, a decorator-based approach to fixture methods among many other features |
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 |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify. |
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 |
YesTestify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality |
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. |
YesFixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators |
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. |
YesGroup fixtures are supported |
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 |
YesOne can create generator methods to yield runnable test methods which will pick out the test methods from your TestCases, and then exclude any in any of your exclude_suites method.If there are any require_suites, it will then further limit itself to test methods in those suites. |

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 the turtle mock object library |
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. |
YesTestify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods. |
