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

	Kiwi https://github.com/kiwi-bdd/Kiwi	unittest https://docs.Python.org/3/library/unittest.html
Programming language	Swift	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
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.	unittest is a unit testing framework for Python The unittest test framework is Python’s xUnit style framework. It is a standard module that is bundled with Python and supports the automation and aggregation of tests and common setup and shutdown code for them.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Kiwi is an xUnit style framework	Yes unittest is a xUnit style frameworkfor Python, it was previously called PyUnit.
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 functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components with kiwi	Yes Since the webserver funtionalities have their own features and each feature has its own functions, we can write tests with unittest to test each function
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes By use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture
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 unittest allows you to group your initialization code into a setUp function and clean up code in a tearDown function
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.	Yes unittest contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase'
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 Mocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects
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 One can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory
