Unit Testing |
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. |
NUnit is an open-source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET.NUnit was Initially ported from JUnit. Tests can be run from a console runner, within Visual Studio through a Test Adapter or through 3rd party runners. Tests can be run in parallel and has Strong support for data driven tests. Unit supports multiple platforms including .NET Core, Xamarin Mobile, Compact Framework and Silverlight. |
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. |
YesNunit is one of many programs in the xUnit family |
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 front-end components with NUnit since it is a Unit testing framework the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently |
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 back-end components with NUnit, it is a Unit testing framework hence the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently |
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 |
YesNUnit contains the fixture methods SetUp to initialize your test environment and TearDown method to destroy a test environment |
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 |
YesGroup fixtures are available in NUnit |
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 |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
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 |
YesYou can group tests into suites with NUnit |
