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

	stestr https://pypi.org/project/stestr/	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach
Programming language	Python	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance 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.	Spinach is a BDD framework on top of Gherkin Spinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria.
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.	N/A
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 You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach
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	No
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	No
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	Yes Spinach has inbuilt generator methods

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 Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
