Selenium vs Concordion comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Selenium and Concordion?

	Selenium https://pypi.org/project/selenium/	Concordion https://concordion.org/
Programming language	Python	Java
Category	Web Automation
General info	Selenium is an open source tool used to test web applications Selenium is a powerful testing tool which can send standard Python commands to different browsers, despite variations in browser design. It also provides extensions to emulate user interaction with browsers, a distribution server for scaling browser allocation, and the infrastructure for implementations of the W3C WebDriver specification that lets you write interchangeable code for all major web browsers	Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.
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 It is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality	Yes You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various components and behaviours in the backend using a BDD or TDD approach	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By writing your Selenium WebDriver tests in PyTest, this gives you access to Pytest's powerful fixture model	Yes Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding 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.	Yes One can group fixtures if accessing Pytest's fixture model	Yes One can group fixtures in concordion
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 By using a library such as Faker or Fake-factory	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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 It includes support for mocking	Yes By use of third party libraries like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily	Yes One can group tests into suites
