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

	pytest https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/	Guage https://gauge.org/
Programming language	Python	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance 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.	Gauge is a light-weight cross-platform test automation tool for writing acceptance tests. Gauge is a free and open source framework for writing and running acceptance tests. Some of its key features include: -Simple, flexible and rich syntax based on Markdown.; -Consistent cross platform/language support for writing test code.; -A modular architecture with plugins support.
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 behaviour by creating testing specifications to test front-end behaviour
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 back-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test back-end behaviour
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.
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
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

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 You can create mocks using third party libraries like moq
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 You can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters.
