| General info |
Robot is a Python framework used for acceptance/functional testing Robot 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. |
Testoob is an advanced unit testing framework for Python. Testoob integrates with existing unittest test suites. It contains many features like: a filter which tests to run with regular expressions, output test results as XML/HTML/PDF, test skipping, color output on a terminal and more. |
|
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 |
Yes Robot has a rich library and can also be easily integrated with Selenium for browser automation to test front-end components |
Yes Testoob can test front-end features since it is a unit testing tool. One can write a test for each function that is on the client side |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes Robot can be used for back-end tests as well |
Yes Testoob can test back-end functionality since it is a unit testing tool. One can write a test for each function in the back-end. |
|
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 |
Yes TestOOB extends unittest and prepares fixtures by use of the 'setUp() function just like unittest |
|
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 |
Yes The 'setUp()' function allows you to group your initialization functions |
|
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. |
Yes Robot 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) |
Yes Robot can access Python's mock library for mocking |
Yes Mocks are available - testoob can acess library unittest.mock which is used for mocking |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes One can create a test suite with Robot |
Yes One can build suites with testoob |
