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

	StoryPlayer http://datasift.github.io/storyplayer/	Selenium https://pypi.org/project/selenium/
Programming language	PHP	Python
Category	Unit testing, Functional Testing	Web Automation
General info	Storyplayer is a full-stack testing framework Storyplayer follows a TDD testing approach and makes it possible to write end-to-end tests for an entire platform. It has support for creating and destroying test environments on demand	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
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes By running a 'user story' which is a simple statement that describes one action, and who can perform that action then record of the conversations about this action, this is how you would test front-end functionality and components	Yes It is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By writing a 'service story' which is a 'userstory' except it describes the behaviour of your back-end systems	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various components and behaviours in the backend using a BDD or TDD approach
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Storyplayer has fixtures that can create and destroy test environments on demand	Yes By writing your Selenium WebDriver tests in PyTest, this gives you access to Pytest's powerful fixture model
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 It supports group fixtures	Yes One can group fixtures if accessing Pytest's fixture model
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 foreach(hostWithRole()) is a generator allows you to easily perform actions against all hosts in your test environment without having to hard-code the host IDs or hostnames into your story.	Yes By using a library such as Faker or Fake-factory
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	New BSD License	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)	By using a library like mockery which intergrates well with storyplayer	Yes It includes support for mocking
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Storyplayer’s job is to execute a suite of functional tests	Yes By using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily
