Lettuce vs Needle comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Lettuce and Needle?

	Lettuce https://pypi.org/project/lettuce/	Needle http://needle.spree.de/
Programming language	Python	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Lettuce is a BDD testing tool for Python Lettuce 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	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.	No However It can generate xml results for behaviour tests xUnit style	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes By integrating Lettuce with Selenium’s Python bindings, you have a robust framework for testing Django applications. It can test front-end behaviour	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 Lettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions	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	N/A	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.	N/A	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.	Yes By using a third party library	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Unknown	GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1
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)	By adding the lettuce-tools library one has access to the Mock module to implement a configurable http REST mock.	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 It allows grouping of tests	N/A
