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. |
Crosscheck is a JavaScript unit-testing framework capable of emulating multiple browser environmentsCrosscheck is an open source testing framework for verifying your in-browser JavaScript. It helps you ensure that your code will run in many different browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox, but without needing installations of those browsers. The only thing you need is a Java Virtual Machine. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

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 |
No |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesRobot can be used for back-end tests as well |
YesCrosscheck is used to verify in-browser JavaScript and is a headless test framework, it tests back-end components and functionality |
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 |
N/A |
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 |

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 |
