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

	SOAtest https://www.parasoft.com/products/soatest	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/
Programming language	JavaScript	Ruby
Category	Functional Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	It's a web based service platform. Script-less REST and SOAP API testing, UI testing, load/performance, and security testing that’s easy to use. Parasoft SOAtest brings artificial intelligence and machine learning to functional testing, to help users test applications with multiple interfaces (UI, REST & SOAP APIs, web services, microservices, and more), simplifying automated end-to-end testing (databases, MQ, JMS, EDI, or even things like Kafka). Unlike any other API testing tool, Parasoft SOAtest mitigates the cost of re-work by proactively adjusting your library of tests as services change.	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 SOAtest is a UI and API testing framework that tests front-end functionality by capturing user interactions directly in the browser without requiring any scripting	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	No	Yes
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	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.	No	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.	No	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	N/A	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)	No	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No	No
