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

	Selenium https://pypi.org/project/selenium/	Laravel Dusk https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/dusk
Programming language	Python	PHP
Category	Web Automation	Browser 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	Laravel Dusk is an easy-to-use browser automation and testing API. One can use Dusk to programmatically test applications, visit any website using a real Chrome browser, automate repetitive tasks, scrape information from other sites or test to make sure your app always works in the browser.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
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 It is a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality
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 Laravel provides a variety of tools to make it easier to test your database driven applications
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	N/A
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	N/A
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	MIT License
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 Laravel provides helpers for mocking events, jobs, and facades out of the box or use Mockery or PHPUnit to create your own mocks or spies
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily	Yes Using the 'dusk' which command accepts any argument that is normally accepted by the PHPUnit test runner, allowing you to run the tests for a given group.
