Selenium vs Test::Unit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Selenium and Test::Unit?

	Selenium https://pypi.org/project/selenium/	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/
Programming language	Python	Ruby
Category	Web Automation	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
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	Test::Unit is a unit testing framework for Ruby Test::Unit is an implementation of the xUnit testing framework for ruby which is used for Unit Testing. However Test::Unit has been left in the standard library to support legacy test suites therefore if you are writing new test code use Minitest instead of Test::Unit
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes test-unit is a xUnit family unit testing framework for Ruby
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	It could have tested some front-end components but its now legacy hence wouldn't work with the many new front-end components
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
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 Fixture methods are available through its ClassMethods Module
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 Group fixture methods are supported
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	LGPLv2.1, Ruby Licence
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	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily	No
