Unitils vs Doctest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Unitils and Doctest?

	Unitils http://www.unitils.org/summary.html	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html
Programming language	Java	Python
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Unitils is an open source library whose goal is to make unit and integration testing easy and maintainable. Unitils is divided into modules, each of them providing support for a certain aspect of your unit and integration tests. For example if you need mocking for your tests, just include unitils-mock as a dependency, If you would also want to load DbUnit data sets, just include unitils-dbunit	Doctest is an inbuilt test framework for Python Doctest is a test framework that comes prepackaged with Python. It is a simple library with a functionality that makes it possible to search for pieces of text that look like interactive Python sessions and executes these sessions to see if they work exactly as shown.
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 You can perform unit tests on various components and functionality that make up the front-end
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Unitils provides support for testing the back-end through modules such as DbUnit which specifically tests your database, i.e connections setup and so on
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		No Lacks fixture management which can make writing tests harder
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.		No Lacks fixture management
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software		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)		A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes One can group tests
