Python RPA vs. RT-LAB vs. Roborabbit vs. tox Comparison Chart

RT-LAB is OPAL-RT’s real-time simulation software combining performance and enhanced user experience. Fully integrated with MATLAB/Simulink®, RT-LAB offers the most complex model-based design for interaction with real-world environments. It provides the flexibility and scalability to achieve the most complex real-time simulation applications in the automotive, aerospace, power electronics, and power systems industries. Since its first application nearly 20 years ago on the Canadian Space Agency’s Canada Arm, RT-LAB has revolutionized the world of systems engineering, whether in space, on the ground or at sea. RT-LAB enables engineers and scientists to accelerate the development of new prototypes and to meet the most rigorous testing required by new and innovative technologies. RT-LAB handles everything, including code generation, with an easy-to-use interface. With just a few clicks of the mouse, a Simulink® model becomes an interactive real-time simulation application.

tox aims to automate and standardize testing in Python. It is part of a larger vision of easing the packaging, testing and release process of Python software. tox is a generic virtualenv management and test command-line tool you can use for checking that your package installs correctly with different Python versions and interpreters, running your tests in each of the environments, configuring your test tool of choice, and acting as a frontend to continuous integration servers, greatly reducing boilerplate and merging CI and shell-based testing. First, install tox with pip install tox. Then put basic information about your project and the test environments you want your project to run in into a tox.ini file residing right next to your setup.py file. You can also try generating a tox.ini file automatically, by running tox-quickstart and then answering a few simple questions. Install and test your project against Python2.7 and Python3.6.
