NUnit vs unittest2 comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between NUnit and unittest2?

	NUnit https://nunit.org/	unittest2 https://pypi.org/project/unittest2/
Programming language	.NET	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	NUnit is an open-source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET. NUnit was Initially ported from JUnit. Tests can be run from a console runner, within Visual Studio through a Test Adapter or through 3rd party runners. Tests can be run in parallel and has Strong support for data driven tests. Unit supports multiple platforms including .NET Core, Xamarin Mobile, Compact Framework and Silverlight.	Unittest2 is a newer version on the inbuilt unit testing framework unittest To use o use unittest2 instead of unittest, simply replace 'import unittest' with 'import unittest2'. It has many new features such as: - addCleanups for better resource management; -many new assert methods; - assertRaises as context manager, with access to the exception afterwards; - test discovery and new command line options (including failfast and better handling of ctrl-C during test runs); - class and module level fixtures: setUpClass, tearDownClass, setUpModule, tearDownModule; -test skipping and expected failures and many more improvements on the API and bug fixes
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Nunit is one of many programs in the xUnit family	Yes unittest2 is a newer version of unittest which is an xUnit style framework for Python.
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components with NUnit since it is a Unit testing framework the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently	Yes Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest2. function by function
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components with NUnit, it is a Unit testing framework hence the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently	Yes We can write tests with unittest2 to test each function for server-side behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes NUnit contains the fixture methods SetUp to initialize your test environment and TearDown method to destroy a test environment	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 Group fixtures are available in NUnit	Yes unittest2 allows you to group your initialization code buy use of the 'setUp()' function and clean up code with 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.	N/A	Yes unittest2 contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	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 create mock objects using the third party library moq	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 You can group tests into suites with NUnit	Yes One can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory
