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

	TestNG https://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html	unittest https://docs.Python.org/3/library/unittest.html
Programming language	Java	Python
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing, End-to-End Testing	Unit Testing
General info	TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnit TestNG is similar to JUnit and NUnit but with newer functionalities such as: annotations, test that your code is multithread safe, flexible test configuration, support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), support for parameters, powerful execution model (no more TestSuite) and more... It's also designed to cover all categories of tests unit, functional, end-to-end, intergration... etc	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.	No	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 The scope of testing with testNg is wide and you can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours with it	Yes Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test server-side functionalities and behaviours with TestNg	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 Fixtures are inbuilt into testNG, these are the annotations which are: @BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite, @BeforeTest, @AfterTest, @BeforeGroups, @AfterGroups, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod	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 You can use various fixtures to setup environments for group tests	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'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	MIT License
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 By Use of an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG	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 Multiple test cases can be grouped more easily by converting them into testng.xml file, in which you can make priorities which test case should be executed first	Yes One can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory
