pytest vs Concordion comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between pytest and Concordion?

Programming language	Python	Java
Category	Unit Testing
General info	Pytest is the TDD 'all in one' testing framework for Python Pytest is a powerful Python testing framework that can test all and levels of software. It is considered by many to be the best testing framework in Python with many projects on the internet having switched to it from other frameworks, including Mozilla and Dropbox. This is due to its many powerful features such as ‘assert‘ rewriting, a third-party plugin model and a powerful yet simple fixture model.	Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.
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 pytest can test any part of the stack including front-end components	Yes You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes pytest is powerful enough to test database and server components and functionality	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Pytest has a powerful yet simple fixture model that is unmatched in any other testing framework.	Yes Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding 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.	Yes Pytest's powerful fixture model allows grouping of fixtures	Yes One can group fixtures in concordion
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 pytest has a hook function called pytest_generate_tests hook which is called when collecting a test function and one can use it to generate data	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
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 By either using unittest.mock or using pytest-mock a thin wrapper that provides mock functionality for pytest	Yes By use of third party libraries like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Tests can be grouped with pytest by use of markers which are applied to various tests and one can run tests with the marker applied	Yes One can group tests into suites
