General info |
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. |
Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ that is descriptive that is; it uses strings,not identifiers , to clearly describe the behaviour you are testing it also allows you to Group tests together by creating a structure in your test files to reduce repetition and improve readability and also you Define tests at runtime |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
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 |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest. |
YesYou can test your front-end code as individual components of code |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
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 |
YesYou can test server-side components and functionality with Cuppa. |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBy use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture |
YesFixtures are available via the Setup and Teardown functions |
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. |
Yesunittest allows you to group your initialization code into a setUp function and clean up code in a tearDown function |
YesYou groups of tests can share these fixture methods |
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) |
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 |
YesOne can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory |
YesThis is a feature of cuppa, it allows you to group your tests together |
