General info |
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 |
Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applicationsSpock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
NoHowever 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 |
YesBy integrating Lettuce with Selenium’s Python bindings, you have a robust framework for testing Django applications. It can test front-end behaviour |
YesSpock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesLettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions |
YesSpock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesSpock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method) |
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 |
YesYou can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups 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. |
YesBy using a third party library |

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. |
YesSpock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesIt allows grouping of tests |
YesYou can create suites manually in spock |
