AVA vs Artos comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between AVA and Artos?

	AVA https://github.com/avajs/ava	Artos https://www.theartos.com/
Programming language	JavaScript	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Functional Testing, End-to-End Testing, Unit Testing
General info	Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntax AVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently	Artos is an opensource BDD testing framework for writing Unit, Intergration and Functional tests Artos includes pre-configured logging framework and extent reports, utilities to write flow for manual/semi-automated testing and supports BDD testing using cucumber scripts.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No However Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML	Yes It is a xUnit style framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava	Yes With Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Ava utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava	Yes You can unit test server side behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Using Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures	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 Ava has support for group fixtures	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.	N/A	N/A
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)	AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js.	You can use a third party library like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No There is no support for grouping tests	Yes Artos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script
