Quick vs TwistedTrial comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Quick and TwistedTrial?

	Quick https://github.com/quick/quick	TwistedTrial https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial
Programming language	Swift	Python
Category	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions
General info	Quick is a Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework. Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C that is inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes bundled with Nimble a matcher framework for your tests.	Trial is a unit testing framework for Python built by Twisted Matrix labs Trial is composed of two parts: First is a command-line test runner, which can be run on plain Python unit tests and can do automated unit-test discovery across files, modules, or even arbitrarily nested packages. Second is a test library, derived from Python's 'unittest.TestCase'
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style test framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Developers can test front-end behaviour and components by defining front-end feature specifications	Yes Front-end components can be tested for example adding a web front-end using simple twisted.web.resource.Resource objects
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Developers can test back-end behaviour and components by defining back-end feature specifications	Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested with Trial, it has various functions for this in the twisted.web.Resource package
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Quick contains fixture methods setup() and teardown() for setting up and destroying test environments	Yes Trial supports various fixture methods such as 'setUp()' and 'tearDown' functions fixture for normal semantics of setup, and teardown
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 Yes, example groups (logical groupings of examples/tests) can share setup and teardown code	Yes Methods like 'setUp()' allow for creation of group 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.	N/A	Through use of third party libraries like test-generator.
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	MIT 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 Yes, developers can create mock objects with Quick using the Cuckoo library	Yes Trial can access the mock library inbuilt in python for mocking purposes
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes In Quick test suites are named Specs, and every test suite you create starts off with a class inheriting from QuickSpec includes a main method, spec() which contains all the test cases.	Yes Trial allows tests to be grouped into test packages
