I am writing some python tests for an embedded system.
I send the device a command to run some feature, while reading result(logs) via serial port.

I would like to compare my expected results to the device output, and check for incorrect behavior of device according to the logs and display the results.

I am looking for a pythonic way to do tests and summarize results. all tests must run even if one failed.

Currently, my code looks something like this : 

class TestSpecificDeviceFeature() :
    def __init__(self):
        self.expectedResults = AllExpectedResultsForRun()
        sendCommandtoDevicetoRunFeature()
        self.deviceResult = RunDeviceAndCollectOuput()

   def test1():
        print self.expectedResults.result1 ==  self.deviceResult.output1

   def test2():
        print self.expectedResults.result2 ==  self.deviceResult.output2
   ...
   ...

I want to use one of the frameworks(unittest, pytest). Which one will fit better so i don't have to rewrite my code too much?

You can use pytest for writing tests.You just need to change the both method name with suffix 'test_' as it is test discovery of pytest.
