Nose vs xUnit.net comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Nose and xUnit.net?

	Nose https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/	xUnit.net https://xunit.net/
Programming language	Python	.NET
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.	xUnit.net is aUnit testing framework for C# and .NET xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework. It is used to test C#, F#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. xUnit.net and works with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.NET and Xamarin. It is part of the .NET Foundation,
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes xUnit.net is part of the xUnit family of frameworks
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 You can test various front-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework
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 You can test various back-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework
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.	Yes It contains class fixtures which are setup once pertest class
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.	Yes xUnit.net contains collection fixtures which allow you to share context among many tests
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL) (GNU LGPL)
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
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.
