MSTest vs Robot Framework comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between MSTest and Robot Framework?

	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs	Robot Framework https://robotframework.org/
Programming language	.NET	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net framework MSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments.	Robot is a Python framework used for acceptance/functional testing Robot is an automated test framework which has a simple plain text syntax and can be extended easily with Python or Java libraries. It can run on the .net-based IronPython and on Jython which is Java based.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components	Yes Robot has a rich library and can also be easily integrated with Selenium for browser automation to test front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually	Yes Robot can be used for back-end tests as well
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment	There is no inbuilt way to work with fixtures in Robot however it can integrate with unittest and use fixtures that way
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 Group fixtures are available	By integrating with unittest
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.	N/A	Yes Robot has a library called the Robot Framework Faker library. It contains 147 keywords used for generating random test data

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 You can create mock objects using the third party library moq	Yes Robot can access Python's mock library for mocking
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	Yes One can create a test suite with Robot
