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

	Selenium https://pypi.org/project/selenium/	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest
Programming language	Python	Swift
Category	Web Automation	Unit Testing, Performance 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	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style framework
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 Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest
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 Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest
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 XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments
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 fixtures are available in XCTest
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 You can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily	Yes Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class
