General info |
LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable testsLightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them |
Unittest2 is a newer version on the inbuilt unit testing framework unittestTo use o use unittest2 instead of unittest, simply replace 'import unittest' with 'import unittest2'. It has many new features such as: - addCleanups for better resource management; -many new assert methods; - assertRaises as context manager, with access to the exception afterwards; - test discovery and new command line options (including failfast and better handling of ctrl-C during test runs); - class and module level fixtures: setUpClass, tearDownClass, setUpModule, tearDownModule; -test skipping and expected failures and many more improvements on the API and bug fixes |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
NoNo, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie. |
Yesunittest2 is a newer version of unittest which is an xUnit style framework for Python. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest2. function by function |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD |
YesWe can write tests with unittest2 to test each function for server-side behaviour |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesFixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class. |
YesBy use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture |
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. |
YesGroup fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class |
Yesunittest2 allows you to group your initialization code buy use of the 'setUp()' function and clean up code with a 'tearDown()' function |
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. |
N/A |
Yesunittest2 contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase' |

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) |
YesMocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq |
YesMocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
YesOne can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory |
