What are the differences between unittest2 and QUnit?

Programming language	Python	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Unittest2 is a newer version on the inbuilt unit testing framework unittest To use o use unittest2 instead of unittest, simply replace 'import unittest' with 'import unittest2'. It has many new features such as: - addCleanups for better resource management; -many new assert methods; - assertRaises as context manager, with access to the exception afterwards; - test discovery and new command line options (including failfast and better handling of ctrl-C during test runs); - class and module level fixtures: setUpClass, tearDownClass, setUpModule, tearDownModule; -test skipping and expected failures and many more improvements on the API and bug fixes	QUnit is a JS Unit testing framework. QUnit is especially useful for regression testing of jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile projects
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes unittest2 is a newer version of unittest which is an xUnit style framework for Python.	Yes Yes, it is a 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 unittest2. function by function	Yes QUnit is commonly used by jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile It can test front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes We can write tests with unittest2 to test each function for server-side behaviour	Yes Qunit can test any JavaScript code(including itself), this includes server-side components and functionality. Supports NodeJs
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	Yes By using the qunit-fixture element which is a container for some HTML that your tests can assert against.
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 unittest2 allows you to group your initialization code buy use of the 'setUp()' function and clean up code with a 'tearDown()' function	Yes You can group fixtures together with QUnit
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 unittest2 contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	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 Mocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects	You can use third party libraries like jQuery's Mockjax plugin
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 You can use the QUnit.module() function to group tests together
