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. |
JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runnerIt's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

No |
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 |
YesJasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesRobot can be used for back-end tests as well |
YesJasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour |
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 using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML 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 |

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 |
By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesOne can create a test suite with Robot |
YesUsing the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level. |
