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. |
wru is an essential general purpose test framework compatible with web environment, node.js, Rhino, and now PhantomJS too.wru is compatible with basically all possible browsers out there included IE5.5, IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Webkit based, Mobile Browsers, and Opera. On server side wru is compatible with latest node.js, Rhino, PhantomJS, and JavaScriptCore versions. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesWru is compatible with xUnit |
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 |
YesWru tests front-end components and functions, it is compatible with HTML and runs on probably all browsers |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesRobot can be used for back-end tests as well |
YesIt is used to test back-end components and behaviour and runs in server environments |
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. |
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 |
You can implement your stubs and mocks using a wru.assert(...) when necessary during a specific test. |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesOne can create a test suite with Robot |
