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.	EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates unit tests for Java software EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates test cases with assertions for classes written in Java code by applying a hybrid approach that generates and optimizes whole test suites towards satisfying a coverage criterion
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 test front-end code by testing the classes that provide front-end functionality
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 functionality and components
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.	You can write your own fixtures but no inbuilt fixtures are provided
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	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.	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	GNU 2.1 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 By either using unittest.mock or using pytest-mock a thin wrapper that provides mock functionality for pytest	No
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 Suites are generated automatically in evosuite
