General info |
Nose is a Python unit test frameworkThis is a Python unit test framework that intergrates well with doctests, unnittests, and 'no-boilerplate tests', that is tests written from scratch without a specific boilerplate. |
Atata is a C# / .NET test automation framework for webAtata is an open source test framework that uses fluent object pattern. It consists of the following concepts: components (controls and page objects), attributes of the control search, settings attributes, triggers, verification attributes and methods |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesYou can use Atata with xUnit frameworks |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yesnose is a unit testing tool which is very similar to unittest. It is basically unittest with extensions therefore just like unittest is can test front-end components and behaviour |
YesAtata is based on selenium and is used for browser automation. You can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesNose can test back-end components and functionality as small units. One can write tests for each function that provides back-end functionality |
No |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yesnose supports fixtures at the package, module, class, and test case levels, so that initialization which can be expensive is done as infrequently as possible. |
|
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 allowed with nose, where a multitest state can be defined. |
|
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. |
Through use of third party libraries like test-generator and from the 'unittest.TestCase' 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) |
YesThe nose library extends the built-in Python unittest module therefore has access to unittest.mock |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesWith nose it collects tests automatically and there’s no need to manually collect test cases into test suites. |
