[edit] Columns

• Name: This column contains the name of the framework and will usually link to it.
• xUnit: This column indicates whether a framework should be considered of xUnit type.
• Generators: Indicates whether a framework supports data generators. Data generators generate input data for a test and the test is run for each input data that the generator produces.
• Fixtures: Indicates whether a framework supports test-local fixtures. Test-local fixtures ensure a specified environment for a single test.
• Group fixtures: Indicates whether a framework supports group fixtures. Group fixtures ensure a specified environment for a whole group of tests.
• Other columns: These columns indicate whether a specific language / tool feature is available / used by a framework.
• Remarks: Any remarks.
