Nose vs Lighttest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Nose and Lighttest?

	Nose https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/	Lighttest http://asvd.github.io/lighttest
Programming language	Python	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions	Unit Testing
General info	Nose is a Python unit test framework This is a Python unit test framework that intergrates well with doctests, unnittests, and 'no-boilerplate tests', that is tests written from scratch without a specific boilerplate.	Lighttest is a JavaScript unit-testing library — it works both in browsers and under Node.js, supports flow control, and is focused on keeping the tests clear. Lighttest keeps tests clear by using a minimal syntax of the test cases, and the only testing function, lighttest.check(), is used to indicate a success or a failure. Any testing behaviour can be implemented using this function JavaScript natively meaning no additional testing API is required.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes nose is a unit testing tool which is very similar to unittest. It is basically unittest with extensions therefore just like unittest is can test front-end components and behaviour	Yes Light Test works in the browser to test client side components and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Nose can test back-end components and functionality as small units. One can write tests for each function that provides back-end functionality	Yes Light Test works with NodeJs to test back-end environments behaviours and components in short it can test any behaviour in the back-end as well as the front-end
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes nose supports fixtures at the package, module, class, and test case levels, so that initialization which can be expensive is done as infrequently as possible.	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.	Yes Group fixtures are allowed with nose, where a multitest state can be defined.	N/A
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.	Through use of third party libraries like test-generator and from the 'unittest.TestCase' library	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL) (GNU LGPL)	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 The nose library extends the built-in Python unittest module therefore has access to unittest.mock	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes With nose it collects tests automatically and there’s no need to manually collect test cases into test suites.	N/A
