Cucumber-JVM vs Artos comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Cucumber-JVM and Artos?

	Cucumber-JVM https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm	Artos https://www.theartos.com/
Programming language	Java	Java
Category	Acceptance Testing	Functional Testing, End-to-End Testing, Unit Testing
General info	Cucumber-JVM is a pure Java implementation of Cucumber The specifications are written in plain texts, which allows them to be easily understandable by all stakeholders.	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	Yes It is a xUnit style framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber with serenity, they integrate well to test your front-end.	Yes With Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components such as API's using rest&soap clients, and databases	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 the cucumber extension aruba you can create fixures in two steps: 1.Create a fixtures-directory; 2.Create fixture files in this directory	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 You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories	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)	Yes By using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock)	You can use a third party library like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Cucumber allows the use of tag Cucumber feature files or individual tests to group tests. Then, you can pass a Cucumber tagged expression at test execution that specifies the tag (grouped) tests to run. https://www.toolsqa.com/cucumber/cucumber-tags/	Yes Artos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script
