TwistedTrial vs Lettuce comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TwistedTrial and Lettuce?

	TwistedTrial https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial	Lettuce https://pypi.org/project/lettuce/
Programming language	Python	Python
Category	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing
General info	Trial is a unit testing framework for Python built by Twisted Matrix labs Trial is composed of two parts: First is a command-line test runner, which can be run on plain Python unit tests and can do automated unit-test discovery across files, modules, or even arbitrarily nested packages. Second is a test library, derived from Python's 'unittest.TestCase'	Lettuce is a BDD testing tool for Python Lettuce is a testing tool for Python which is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber that supports Gherkin. It can execute plain-text functional descriptions as automated tests for Python projects just like Cucumber does for Ruby
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No However It can generate xml results for behaviour tests xUnit style
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end components can be tested for example adding a web front-end using simple twisted.web.resource.Resource objects	Yes By integrating Lettuce with Selenium’s Python bindings, you have a robust framework for testing Django applications. It can test front-end behaviour
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested with Trial, it has various functions for this in the twisted.web.Resource package	Yes Lettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Trial supports various fixture methods such as 'setUp()' and 'tearDown' functions fixture for normal semantics of setup, and teardown	N/A
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 Methods like 'setUp()' allow for creation of group fixtures	N/A
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.	Through use of third party libraries like test-generator.	Yes By using a third party library
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Unknown
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 Trial can access the mock library inbuilt in python for mocking purposes	By adding the lettuce-tools library one has access to the Mock module to implement a configurable http REST mock.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Trial allows tests to be grouped into test packages	Yes It allows grouping of tests
