Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code

Yes

You can test back-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test back-end behaviour

Yes

It can test server-side behaviours of web applications written with Python
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test

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.
