General info |
Robot is a Python framework used for acceptance/functional testingRobot is an automated test framework which has a simple plain text syntax and can be extended easily with Python or Java libraries. It can run on the .net-based IronPython and on Jython which is Java based. |
Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional testsArquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesIt is a xUnit framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesRobot has a rich library and can also be easily integrated with Selenium for browser automation to test front-end components |
YesYou can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesRobot can be used for back-end tests as well |
YesYou can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end 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 |
There is no inbuilt way to work with fixtures in Robot however it can integrate with unittest and use fixtures that way |
YesBy use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures |
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. |
By integrating with unittest |
YesYou can define group fixtures |
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. |
YesRobot has a library called the Robot Framework Faker library. It contains 147 keywords used for generating random test data |

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) |
YesRobot can access Python's mock library for mocking |
YesArquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesOne can create a test suite with Robot |
YesArquilian supports grouping of tests |
