SpecFlow vs stestr comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between SpecFlow and stestr?

	SpecFlow https://specflow.org/	stestr https://pypi.org/project/stestr/
Programming language	.NET	Python
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET which follows the BDD paradigm, and is part of the Cucumber family. SpecFlow tests are written with Gherkin, using the official Gherkin parser which allows you to write test cases using natural languages and supports over 70 languages.	stestr is a Python test runner designed to execute unittest test suites stestr executes unittest test suites by using multiple processes to split up execution of a test suite then stores a history of all test runs to help in debugging failures and optimizing the scheduler to improve speed.
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 Front-end behaviour is tested. With specflow specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against this	Yes Stestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can test fron-tend functionality and behaviour.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end behaviour is tested. Specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against them	Yes Stestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can run back-end tests for functionality and behaviour.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes BeforeTestRun and AfterTestRun are executed once for each thread which is a limitation of the current architecture.	Yes By use of a third party library like Fixture
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	By use of a third party library like Fixture
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 SpecFlow contains a generator component. The SpecFlow IDE integration tries to locate the generator component in your project structure, in order to use the generator version matching the SpecFlow runtime in your project	Yes By using a library like test-generator
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	BSD license	Apache License 2.0
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 Specflow intergrates well with mock to give it excellent mocking capabilities	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with specflow	N/A
