Lettuce vs AVA comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Lettuce and AVA?

	Lettuce https://pypi.org/project/lettuce/	AVA https://github.com/avajs/ava
Programming language	Python	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Lettuce is a BDD testing tool for Python Lettuce is a testing tool for Python which is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber that supports Gherkin. It can execute plain-text functional descriptions as automated tests for Python projects just like Cucumber does for Ruby	Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntax AVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No However It can generate xml results for behaviour tests xUnit style	No However Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes By integrating Lettuce with Selenium’s Python bindings, you have a robust framework for testing Django applications. It can test front-end behaviour	Yes You can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Lettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions	Yes Ava utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes Using Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures
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	Yes Ava has support for 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 By using a third party library	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Unknown	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)	By adding the lettuce-tools library one has access to the Mock module to implement a configurable http REST mock.	AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes It allows grouping of tests	No There is no support for grouping tests
