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

	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html
Programming language	.NET	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests	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.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them	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.	N/A	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	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)	N/A	A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites	Yes One can group tests
