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

	stestr https://pypi.org/project/stestr/	Jest https://jestjs.io
Programming language	Python	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	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.	A Unit Testing framework focused on simplicity This is a Unit test framwork especially designed for the React.JS, Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular and Vue projects. It usually worked with Enzyme(Integration testing)
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 Stestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can test fron-tend functionality and behaviour.	Yes You can easily test methods, properties, UI element actions and other front-end functionalities
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Stestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can run back-end tests for functionality and behaviour.	Yes Back-end server behaviour also can be tested with Jest much in the same way as the front-end tests.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By use of a third party library like Fixture	Yes Fixtures are supported, Jest has many helper functions such as: BeforeEach and afterEach If you have some work you need to do repeatedly for many tests, beforeAll and afterAll if you only need to do setup once, at the beginning of a file.
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.	By use of a third party library like Fixture	Yes Jest supports 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.	Yes By using a library like test-generator	N/A

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	Jest uses a custom resolver for imports in your tests making it simple to mock any object outside of your test’s scope. You can use mocked imports with the rich Mock Functions API to spy on function calls with readable test syntax.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can declare as many test suites as you want. Grouping of tests together is done using a describe block
