General info |
Quick is a Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework.Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C that is inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes bundled with Nimble a matcher framework for your tests. |
unittest is a unit testing framework for PythonThe unittest test framework is Python’s xUnit style framework. It is a standard module that is bundled with Python and supports the automation and aggregation of tests and common setup and shutdown code for them. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style test framework |
Yesunittest is a xUnit style frameworkfor Python, it was previously called PyUnit. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesDevelopers can test front-end behaviour and components by defining front-end feature specifications |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesDevelopers can test back-end behaviour and components by defining back-end feature specifications |
YesSince the webserver funtionalities have their own features and each feature has its own functions, we can write tests with unittest to test each function |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesQuick contains fixture methods setup() and teardown() for setting up and destroying test environments |
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. |
YesYes, example groups (logical groupings of examples/tests) can share setup and teardown code |
Yesunittest allows you to group your initialization code into a setUp function and clean up code in 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 |
Yesunittest 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) |
YesYes, developers can create mock objects with Quick using the Cuckoo library |
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 |
YesIn Quick test suites are named Specs, and every test suite you create starts off with a class inheriting from QuickSpec includes a main method, spec() which contains all the test cases. |
YesOne can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory |
