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. |
QUnit is a JS Unit testing framework.QUnit is especially useful for regression testing of jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile projects |
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. |
YesYes, it is a xUnit style framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest. |
YesQUnit is commonly used by jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile It can test front-end components and functionality |
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 |
YesQunit can test any JavaScript code(including itself), this includes server-side components and functionality. Supports NodeJs |
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 |
YesBy using the qunit-fixture element which is a container for some HTML that your tests can assert against. |
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 can group fixtures together with QUnit |
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 |
You can use third party libraries like jQuery's Mockjax plugin |
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 use the QUnit.module() function to group tests together |
