Robot Framework vs Unitils comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Robot Framework and Unitils?

	Robot Framework https://robotframework.org/	Unitils http://www.unitils.org/summary.html
Programming language	Python	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
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.	Unitils is an open source library whose goal is to make unit and integration testing easy and maintainable. Unitils is divided into modules, each of them providing support for a certain aspect of your unit and integration tests. For example if you need mocking for your tests, just include unitils-mock as a dependency, If you would also want to load DbUnit data sets, just include unitils-dbunit
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
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 You can perform unit tests on various components and functionality that make up the front-end
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Robot can be used for back-end tests as well	Yes Unitils provides support for testing the back-end through modules such as DbUnit which specifically tests your database, i.e connections setup and so on
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
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.	Yes Robot has a library called the Robot Framework Faker library. It contains 147 keywords used for generating random test data
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0
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
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can create a test suite with Robot
