Cucumber vs unittest : What are the differences?

Cucumber: Simple, human collaboration. Cucumber is a tool that supports Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) - a software development process that aims to enhance software quality and reduce maintenance costs; unittest : A unit testing framework for Python. It is python’s xUnit style framework. It works much the same as the other styles of xUnit, and if you’re familiar with unit testing in other languages, this framework (or derived versions), may be the most comfortable for you.

Cucumber and unittest can be primarily classified as "Testing Frameworks" tools.

Cucumber is an open source tool with 2.59K GitHub stars and 501 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Cucumber's open source repository on GitHub.
