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

	Kotest https://github.com/kotest/kotest	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html
Programming language	Kotlin	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	kotest is a powerful, elegant and flexible test framework for Kotlin, formerly known as kotlintest Kotest has excellent support for data driven testing or table driven testing where it has the ability to quickly rerun the same test over and over with a predefined set of inputs and expected values	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.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, you can test back-end components with kotest
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes kotest contains fixtures, that is the setup / teardown functions	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.	Yes kotest has group fixtures available	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	Apache License 2.0	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 You can use a third party library like mockk to create mocks	A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with kotest	Yes One can group tests
