General info |
xUnit.net is aUnit testing framework for C# and .NETxUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework. It is used to test C#, F#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. xUnit.net and works with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.NET and Xamarin. It is part of the .NET Foundation, |
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. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesxUnit.net is part of the xUnit family of frameworks |
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 |
YesYou can test various front-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test various back-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework |
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 |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesIt contains class fixtures which are setup once pertest class |
YesBy use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture |
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. |
YesxUnit.net contains collection fixtures which allow you to share context among many tests |
Yesunittest allows you to group your initialization code into a setUp function and clean up code in a tearDown function |
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 |
