Acceptance 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 |
Robot is a Python framework used for acceptance/functional testing Robot is an automated test framework which has a simple plain text syntax and can be extended easily with Python or Java libraries. It can run on the .net-based IronPython and on Jython which is Java based. |

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 Robot has a rich library and can also be easily integrated with Selenium for browser automation to test front-end components |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes Lettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions |
Yes Robot can be used for back-end tests as well |
|
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A
|
There is no inbuilt way to work with fixtures in Robot however it can integrate with unittest and use fixtures that way |
|
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
|
By integrating with unittest |
|
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 |
Yes Robot has a library called the Robot Framework Faker library. It contains 147 keywords used for generating random test data |

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 Robot can access Python's mock library for mocking |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes It allows grouping of tests |
Yes One can create a test suite with Robot |
