Plenty of Testing framework exist for Java. JUnit has been the de facto for unit testing. However, other frameworks such as TestNG, JTIGER have been built to address various faults and deficiencies with JUnit. Our primary objective is to compare the various testing frameworks that exist for object oriented languages based on the primary purpose of the framework, strength, platforms that are supported by them, etc and thus help in choosing the best testing framework that fits in a particular suitable environment..

'	JUnit4	TestNG	Cactus
Supporting Type of Testing	Suitable more for Unit testing	Supports Unit testing,Functional testing, end-to-end testing, integration testing	Primarily unit testing. Also have frameworks for code logic unit testing , functional logic unit testing
Conventions	Rigid Example:	Flexible	Not as flexible as TestNG
Derived from JUnit	Yes, from the previous versions	Inspired from Junit,with added functionalities	Extends JUnit
Init ()	Init() has to be declared static	Not necessary
Flexibility for large suites	Not flexible for large test suites,	Flexible for running large test suites of code and thus one test\'s failure shouldn\'t mean having to rerun a suite of thousands.	No, it is suitable for unit testing.
Suitable for	Best for a single object	Best for a higher level testing	Best for server-side java code such as Servlets, EJB, etc.
Runs on	Command line, ANT,ECLIPSE	Command line,ANT, ECLIPSE, IDEA,MAVEN	ECLIPSE
