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

	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html	microtest https://github.com/rubyworks/microtest
Programming language	Python	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing
General info	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.	Minimal testing framework, compatible with Test::Unit/MiniTest
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	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.	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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	FreeBSD 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)	A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can group tests
