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

	Python Testify https://github.com/Yelp/Testify	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest
Programming language	Python	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Performance 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	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style framework
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 Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Testify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality	Yes Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest
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 XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments
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 XCTest
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 protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo
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 Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class
