General info |
Doctest is an inbuilt test framework for PythonDoctest 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. |
Green is a clean, colorful, fast Python test runnerThis is a test runner that has pretty printing on output that makes results easy to read and understand. Some of its features include: Tests running in independent processes (fast), low redundancy in output (clean), supports pretty printing that is the terminal output, makes good use of color when the terminal supports it (colorful) |

Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
|
YesIt can test front-end components of the django framework |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
|
YesIt can test server-side behaviours of web applications written with Python |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
NoLacks 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. |
NoLacks fixture management |

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) |
A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks |

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesOne can group tests |
