General info |
This library was designed to work for both Node.js and browser interpreters and it encourages the TDD (Test Driven Development)Test doubles can be used with conjuction of other test frameworks such as Jasmine, Jest, Chai, QUnit, Mocha, Tape etc. |
unittest is a unit testing framework for PythonThe unittest test framework is Python’s xUnit style framework. It is a standard module that is bundled with Python and supports the automation and aggregation of tests and common setup and shutdown code for them. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt is compatible with xUnit and supportsxUnit XML output |
Yesunittest is a xUnit style frameworkfor Python, it was previously called PyUnit. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
No |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesTestdouble is primarily used to test server-side functions, behaviours and components |
YesSince the webserver funtionalities have their own features and each feature has its own functions, we can write tests with unittest to test each function |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesBy use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture |
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. |
N/A |
Yesunittest allows you to group your initialization code into a setUp function and clean up code in a tearDown function |
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. |
|
Yesunittest contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase' |

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) |
YesTestdouble includes inbuilt support for mocking |
YesMocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesOne can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory |
