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. |
LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable testsLightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
NoNo, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
|
YesYou can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
|
YesYou can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD |
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 |
YesFixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class. |
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 |
YesGroup fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class |
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. |

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 |
YesMocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesOne can group tests |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
