Unit Testing
|
| General info |
Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional tests Arquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well |
Needle is a lightweight framework for testing Java EE components outside of the container in isolation Needle reduces the test setup code by analysing dependencies and has automatic injection of mock objects by default. Therefore It will maximize the speed of development as well as the execution of unit tests |

xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
Yes It is a xUnit framework |
No
|
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality |
Yes You can test front-end components and functionality by testing individual front-end classes and functions |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes You can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions |
Yes You can test back-end components and functionality.one of needles features is database testing via a JPA (Java Persistence API) like hibernate |
|
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures |
Yes It has setUp() and tearDown() functions which are mostly used to execute database operations |
|
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. |
Yes You can define group fixtures |
Yes The setUp() and tearDown functions can be used to define an environment for a group of tests |
|
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. |

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) |
Yes Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries |
Yes One of needle's features is automatic injection of mock objects, it supports EasyMock and Mockito out of the box |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests |
