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

	Python Testify https://github.com/Yelp/Testify	stestr https://pypi.org/project/stestr/
Programming language	Python	Python
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	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 functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify.	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 Testify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality	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 Fixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators	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.	Yes Group fixtures are supported	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 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.	Yes By using a library like test-generator

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	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Testify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods.	N/A
