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

Programming language	Python	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	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.	Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS development The goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Kiwi is an xUnit style framework
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 components with kiwi
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 components with kiwi
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	Yes kiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts
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	Yes through the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions.
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Proprietary, Open source
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 Kiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks
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 Kiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests
