General info	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.	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.	Yes unittest is a xUnit style frameworkfor Python, it was previously called PyUnit.	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 functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest.	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 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	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 By use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture	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 unittest allows you to group your initialization code into a setUp function and clean up code in a tearDown function	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.	Yes unittest contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase'	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 Mocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects	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 One can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory	Yes It allows grouping of tests
