DbUnit vs Doctest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between DbUnit and Doctest?

	DbUnit http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html
Programming language	Java	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Dbunit is a Junit extension for unit testing database driven programs DbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can also work with very large datasets when used in streaming mode and can also help you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values	Doctest is an inbuilt test framework for Python Doctest is a test framework that comes prepackaged with Python. It is a simple library with a functionality that makes it possible to search for pieces of text that look like interactive Python sessions and executes these sessions to see if they work exactly as shown.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is a JUnit extension which is one of the most widely known members of the xUnit family	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes its used to test database functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	No Lacks fixture management which can make writing tests harder
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.	N/A	No Lacks fixture management
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	GNU 2.1 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)	No	A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No	Yes One can group tests
