BeanTest vs Python Testify comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between BeanTest and Python Testify?

	BeanTest https://github.com/NovatecConsulting/BeanTest	Python Testify https://github.com/Yelp/Testify
Programming language	Java	Python
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	A testing solution for Java EE applications BeanTest is a testing solution for Java EE Applications which combines the speed of unit tests with almost the coverage of integration tests with minimal configuration and with standard and well known frameworks like JPA, CDI, Mockito and Junit	A Python unit testing framework modelled after unittest Testify is modelled after unittest but has more features while still supporting unittest classes. It has more pythonic naming conventions, an better test runner output visually, a decorator-based approach to fixture methods among many other features
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components of your EE application	Yes Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes BeanTest is used to test business logic or the back-end that is information exchange between the database and the UI	Yes Testify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes Fixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators
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 Group fixtures are supported
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.		Yes One can create generator methods to yield runnable test methods which will pick out the test methods from your TestCases, and then exclude any in any of your exclude_suites method.If there are any require_suites, it will then further limit itself to test methods in those suites.

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)	Yes You are able to provide your own Mocks in BeanTest to test external dependencies	Yes It includes the turtle mock object library
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Testify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods.
