Codedeception vs TwistedTrial comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Codedeception and TwistedTrial?

	Codedeception https://codeception.com/	TwistedTrial https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial
Programming language	PHP	Python
Category	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing/Functional Testing	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions
General info	Codeception is a full-stack testing framework for PHP It is inspired by BDD and provides a way of writing acceptance, functional and even unit tests. It is powered by PHPUnit.	Trial is a unit testing framework for Python built by Twisted Matrix labs Trial is composed of two parts: First is a command-line test runner, which can be run on plain Python unit tests and can do automated unit-test discovery across files, modules, or even arbitrarily nested packages. Second is a test library, derived from Python's 'unittest.TestCase'
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 One is able to write acceptance tests which are used to look at functionality from a user's perspective. It is able to look at pages in browser (Chrome, Firefox or PhpBrowser)	Yes Front-end components can be tested for example adding a web front-end using simple twisted.web.resource.Resource objects
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It supports back-end tests, by writing functionaltests one can be able to test server behaviour	Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested with Trial, it has various functions for this in the twisted.web.Resource package
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes One can define a fixture and write the test with Codedeception, use the yii2-codedeceptionextention which will autoload fixtures for you	Yes Trial supports various fixture methods such as 'setUp()' and 'tearDown' functions fixture for normal semantics of setup, and teardown
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 One can define group fixtures	Yes Methods like 'setUp()' allow for creation of group fixtures
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	Through use of third party libraries like test-generator.
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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 Codeception provides Codeception\Stub library for building mocks and stubs for tests	Yes Trial can access the mock library inbuilt in python for mocking purposes
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Codeception consists of three so-called “suites”: A “unit suite” for all unit tests, a “functional suite” for all functional tests, and an “acceptance suite” for all acceptance tests.	Yes Trial allows tests to be grouped into test packages
