General info |
Tyrtle is a Javascript unit testing framework that emphasises simplicity, cleanliness and expressiveness.Tyrtle runs either in the browser or on NodeJS. In a CommonJS environment (eg: Node, or the browser running RequireJS), nothing is added to the global space, and with plain Javascript in the browser, only one variable is added to the window object. This keeps it clean and ensures that it won't interfere with your codebase. |
Robot is a Python framework used for acceptance/functional testingRobot 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. |
N/A |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesFront-end pieces of code can be tested, you can test various components and functionality |
YesRobot 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 |
YesBack-end components and functions can be tested using tyrtle |
YesRobot 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 |
N/A |
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. |
N/A |
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 |
YesRobot 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) |
YesBy using Myrtle, a sister project of Tyrtle which provides various Mocking features such as: -Mocking (spying and stubbing functions); -Mock function generation; -Timer manipulation-Speed profiling |
YesRobot can access Python's mock library for mocking |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
N/A |
YesOne can create a test suite with Robot |
