General info |
Selenium is an open source tool used to test web applicationsSelenium 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 |
Library for end-to-end intergration testing for Elixir appsWallaby supports concurrent feature testing (i.e multiple tests can run concurrently) as well as browser management |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesIt is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality |
YesIt works well for automated E2E testing; Wallaby also has an experimental Chrome Driver that works well |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesIt can perform Unit tests and can test various components and behaviours in the backend using a BDD or TDD approach |
N/A |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBy 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. |
YesOne 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. |
YesBy using a library such as Faker or Fake-factory |

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) |
YesIt includes support for mocking |
YesAvailable through third party libraries like Mock and Mockery |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesBy using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily |
