Developers that require a solution to run complex functional tests for applications and libraries
About pytest
pytest helps you write better programs. The pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries. Due to pytest’s detailed assertion introspection, only plain assert statements are used. Detailed info on failing assert statements. Auto-discovery of test modules and functions. Modular fixtures for managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources. Can run unittest (including trial) and nose test suites out of the box. Supports Python 3.6+ and PyPy 3. Rich plugin architecture, with over 315+ external plugins and thriving community. The maintainers of pytest and thousands of other packages are working with Tidelift to deliver commercial support and maintenance for the open source dependencies you use to build your applications. Save time, reduce risk, and improve code health, while paying the maintainers of the exact dependencies you use.

behave
Behavior-driven development (or BDD) is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical or business participants in a software project. We have a page further describing this philosophy. Behavior-driven development (or BDD) is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical or business participants in a software project. It was originally named in 2003 by Dan North as a response to test-driven development (TDD), including acceptance test or customer test driven development practices as found in extreme programming. BDD is a second-generation, outside–in, pull-based, multiple-stakeholder, multiple-scale, high-automation, agile methodology. It describes a cycle of interactions with well-defined outputs, resulting in the delivery of working, tested software that matters.

TestNG
TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionalities that make it more powerful and easier to use, such as annotations, or the possibility to run your tests in arbitrarily big thread pools with various policies available (all methods in their own thread, one thread per test class, etc.). You can test that your code is multithread safe, there is flexible test configuration, support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), support for parameters, powerful execution model (no more TestSuite). There is a supported by a variety of tools and plug-ins (Eclipse, IDEA, Maven, etc.), it also embeds BeanShell for further flexibility, and there is default JDK functions for runtime and logging (no dependencies), and dependent methods for application server testing. TestNG is designed to cover all categories of tests, unit, functional, end-to-end, integration, etc.

Robot Framework
Robot Framework is a generic open-source automation framework. It can be used for test automation and robotic process automation (RPA). Robot Framework is supported by Robot Framework Foundation. Many industry-leading companies use the tool in their software development. Robot Framework is open and extensible. Robot Framework can be integrated with virtually any other tool to create powerful and flexible automation solutions. Robot Framework is free to use without licensing costs. Robot Framework has an easy syntax, utilizing human-readable keywords. Its capabilities can be extended by libraries implemented with Python, Java or many other programming languages. Robot Framework has a rich ecosystem around it, consisting of libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects.
