General info |
TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnitTestNG 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 |
LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable testsLightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
NoNo, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesThe scope of testing with testNg is wide and you can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours with it |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test server-side functionalities and behaviours with TestNg |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesFixtures are inbuilt into testNG, these are the annotations which are: @BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite, @BeforeTest, @AfterTest, @BeforeGroups, @AfterGroups, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod |
YesFixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class. |
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. |
YesYou can use various fixtures to setup environments for group tests |
YesGroup fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class |
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. |

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) |
YesBy Use of an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG |
YesMocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesMultiple 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 |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
