MSTest vs unittest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between MSTest and unittest?

	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs	unittest https://docs.Python.org/3/library/unittest.html
Programming language	.NET	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net framework MSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments.	unittest is a unit testing framework for Python The unittest test framework is Python’s xUnit style framework. It is a standard module that is bundled with Python and supports the automation and aggregation of tests and common setup and shutdown code for them.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MsTest is an xUnit type framework	Yes unittest is a xUnit style frameworkfor Python, it was previously called PyUnit.
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components	Yes Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually	Yes Since the webserver funtionalities have their own features and each feature has its own functions, we can write tests with unittest to test each function
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment	Yes By use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test 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.	Yes Group fixtures are available	Yes unittest allows you to group your initialization code into a setUp function and clean up code in a tearDown function
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	Yes unittest contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase'

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 You can create mock objects using the third party library moq	Yes Mocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	Yes One can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory
