Selenide vs DbUnit: What are the differences?
What is Selenide? Concise UI tests in JAVA. It is a library for writing concise, readable, boilerplate-free tests in Java using Selenium WebDriver.
What is DbUnit? A JUnit extension targeted at database-driven projects. It is a JUnit extension (also usable with Ant) targeted at database-driven projects that, among other things, puts your database into a known state between test runs. This is an excellent way to avoid the myriad of problems that can occur when one test case corrupts the database and causes subsequent tests to fail or exacerbate the damage.
Selenide and DbUnit can be primarily classified as "Testing Frameworks" tools.
Some of the features offered by Selenide are:
- Concise fluent API for tests
- Ajax support for stable tests
- Powerful selectors
On the other hand, DbUnit provides the following key features:
- Ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets
- Works with very large datasets when used in streaming mode
- Helps you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values
