AVA vs stestr comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between AVA and stestr?

	AVA https://github.com/avajs/ava	stestr https://pypi.org/project/stestr/
Programming language	JavaScript	Python
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntax AVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently	stestr is a Python test runner designed to execute unittest test suites stestr executes unittest test suites by using multiple processes to split up execution of a test suite then stores a history of all test runs to help in debugging failures and optimizing the scheduler to improve speed.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No However Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava	Yes Stestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can test fron-tend functionality and behaviour.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Ava utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava	Yes Stestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can run back-end tests for functionality and behaviour.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Using Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures	Yes By use of a third party library like Fixture
Group fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests.	Yes Ava has support for group fixtures	By use of a third party library like Fixture
Generators Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way.	N/A	Yes By using a library like test-generator
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
Mocks Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed)	AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js.	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No There is no support for grouping tests	N/A
