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

	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs
Programming language	Python	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	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.	MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net framework MSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser		Yes MsTest can test various front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code		Yes With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually
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	Yes MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment
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	Yes Group fixtures are available
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

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 You can create mock objects using the third party library moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can group tests	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest
