TestNG vs DbUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TestNG and DbUnit?

	TestNG https://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html	DbUnit http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing, End-to-End Testing	Unit Testing
General info	TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnit TestNG is similar to JUnit and NUnit but with newer functionalities such as: annotations, test that your code is multithread safe, flexible test configuration, support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), support for parameters, powerful execution model (no more TestSuite) and more... It's also designed to cover all categories of tests unit, functional, end-to-end, intergration... etc	Dbunit is a Junit extension for unit testing database driven programs DbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can also work with very large datasets when used in streaming mode and can also help you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is a JUnit extension which is one of the most widely known members of the xUnit family
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes The scope of testing with testNg is wide and you can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours with it	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test server-side functionalities and behaviours with TestNg	Yes Yes its used to test database functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures are inbuilt into testNG, these are the annotations which are: @BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite, @BeforeTest, @AfterTest, @BeforeGroups, @AfterGroups, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod	N/A
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 You can use various fixtures to setup environments for group tests	N/A
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	GNU 2.1 License
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 By Use of an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Multiple test cases can be grouped more easily by converting them into testng.xml file, in which you can make priorities which test case should be executed first	No
