General info |
NUnit is an open-source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET.NUnit was Initially ported from JUnit. Tests can be run from a console runner, within Visual Studio through a Test Adapter or through 3rd party runners. Tests can be run in parallel and has Strong support for data driven tests. Unit supports multiple platforms including .NET Core, Xamarin Mobile, Compact Framework and Silverlight. |
Selenium is an open source tool used to test web applicationsSelenium is a powerful testing tool which can send standard Python commands to different browsers, despite variations in browser design. It also provides extensions to emulate user interaction with browsers, a distribution server for scaling browser allocation, and the infrastructure for implementations of the W3C WebDriver specification that lets you write interchangeable code for all major web browsers |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesNunit is one of many programs in the xUnit family |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end components with NUnit since it is a Unit testing framework the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently |
YesIt is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end components with NUnit, it is a Unit testing framework hence the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently |
YesIt can perform Unit tests and can test various components and behaviours in the backend using a BDD or TDD approach |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesNUnit contains the fixture methods SetUp to initialize your test environment and TearDown method to destroy a test environment |
YesBy writing your Selenium WebDriver tests in PyTest, this gives you access to Pytest's powerful fixture model |
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 NUnit |
YesOne can group fixtures if accessing Pytest's fixture model |
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 |
YesBy using a library such as Faker or Fake-factory |

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) |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
YesIt includes support for mocking |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can group tests into suites with NUnit |
YesBy using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily |
