Kiwi vs TwistedTrial comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Kiwi and TwistedTrial?

	Kiwi https://github.com/kiwi-bdd/Kiwi	TwistedTrial https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial
Programming language	Swift	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions
General info	Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS development The goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework.	Trial is a unit testing framework for Python built by Twisted Matrix labs Trial is composed of two parts: First is a command-line test runner, which can be run on plain Python unit tests and can do automated unit-test discovery across files, modules, or even arbitrarily nested packages. Second is a test library, derived from Python's 'unittest.TestCase'
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Kiwi is an xUnit style framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components with kiwi	Yes Front-end components can be tested for example adding a web front-end using simple twisted.web.resource.Resource objects
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components with kiwi	Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested with Trial, it has various functions for this in the twisted.web.Resource package
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes Trial supports various fixture methods such as 'setUp()' and 'tearDown' functions fixture for normal semantics of setup, and teardown
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.	Yes kiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts	Yes Methods like 'setUp()' allow for creation of group fixtures
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.	Yes through the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions.	Through use of third party libraries like test-generator.
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Proprietary, Open source	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)	Yes Kiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks	Yes Trial can access the mock library inbuilt in python for mocking purposes
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Kiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests	Yes Trial allows tests to be grouped into test packages
