Randoop.NET vs TwistedTrial comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Randoop.NET and TwistedTrial?

	Randoop.NET https://github.com/abb-iss/Randoop.NET	TwistedTrial https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial
Programming language	.NET	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions
General info	Randoop.NET is an API fuzzing unit test generator for .NET libraries. Randoop.NET creates test cases by a sequence of API method calls and it improves on random and static test generation by incorporating feedback during test generation.	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 Randoop.net is an xUnit style testing framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components by testing individual front-end classes and modules	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 You can test back-end components by testing individual back-end classes and modules	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	N/A	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.	N/A	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)	N/A	Yes Trial can access the mock library inbuilt in python for mocking purposes
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can generate test suites with Randoop	Yes Trial allows tests to be grouped into test packages
