Doctest vs testdouble.js comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Doctest and testdouble.js?

	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html	testdouble.js https://github.com/testdouble/testdouble.js
Programming language	Python	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration 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.	This library was designed to work for both Node.js and browser interpreters and it encourages the TDD (Test Driven Development) Test doubles can be used with conjuction of other test frameworks such as Jasmine, Jest, Chai, QUnit, Mocha, Tape etc.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is compatible with xUnit and supportsxUnit XML output
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 Testdouble is primarily used to test server-side functions, behaviours and components
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	N/A
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	N/A
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	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)	A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks	Yes Testdouble includes inbuilt support for mocking
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can group tests	N/A
