General info |
Pytest is the TDD 'all in one' testing framework for PythonPytest 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. |
Teenytest is a simple, zero-config test runner for NodeJSTeenytest's CLI will run tests with zero public-API and zero configuration |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesIt supports xUnit output |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yespytest can test any part of the stack including front-end components |
No |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yespytest is powerful enough to test database and server components and functionality |
YesTeenytest tests database connections and other server-side components and behaviour |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesPytest has a powerful yet simple fixture model that is unmatched in any other testing framework. |
YesIt provides fixtures with the methods beforeAll(),afterEach() and afterAll()beforeAll() creates the browser and gives you a newPage() globalafterEach() will close any pages you created with newPage()afterAll() closes the browser |
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. |
YesPytest's powerful fixture model allows grouping of fixtures |
YesTeeny test supports 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. |
Yespytest 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 |

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) |
YesBy either using unittest.mock or using pytest-mock a thin wrapper that provides mock functionality for pytest |
N/A |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesTests can be grouped with pytest by use of markers which are applied to various tests and one can run tests with the marker applied |
YesGrouping is supported through nested tests in which any object can contain any combination of hooks, test functions, and additional sub-test objects. |
