Programming language	.NET	Kotlin
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests	kotest is a powerful, elegant and flexible test framework for Kotlin, formerly known as kotlintest Kotest has excellent support for data driven testing or table driven testing where it has the ability to quickly rerun the same test over and over with a predefined set of inputs and expected values
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie	Yes Yes, you can test back-end components with kotest
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them	Yes kotest contains fixtures, that is the setup / teardown functions
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.	N/A	Yes kotest has group fixtures available
