Testify vs NUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Testify and NUnit?

	Testify https://github.com/Yelp/Testify	NUnit https://nunit.org/
Programming language	Python	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	A Python unit testing framework modelled after unittest Testify is modelled after unittest but has more features while still supporting unittest classes. It has more pythonic naming conventions, an better test runner output visually, a decorator-based approach to fixture methods among many other features	NUnit is an open-source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET. NUnit was Initially ported from JUnit. Tests can be run from a console runner, within Visual Studio through a Test Adapter or through 3rd party runners. Tests can be run in parallel and has Strong support for data driven tests. Unit supports multiple platforms including .NET Core, Xamarin Mobile, Compact Framework and Silverlight.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Nunit is one of many programs in the xUnit family
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify.	Yes You can test front-end components with NUnit since it is a Unit testing framework the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Testify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality	Yes You can test back-end components with NUnit, it is a Unit testing framework hence the application is isolated into diverse modules which are tested independently
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators	Yes NUnit contains the fixture methods SetUp to initialize your test environment and TearDown method to destroy a test environment
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 supported	Yes Group fixtures are available in NUnit
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 One can create generator methods to yield runnable test methods which will pick out the test methods from your TestCases, and then exclude any in any of your exclude_suites method.If there are any require_suites, it will then further limit itself to test methods in those suites.

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 It includes the turtle mock object library	Yes You can create mock objects using the third party library moq
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Testify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods.	Yes You can group tests into suites with NUnit
