What are the differences between Guage and Kotest?

	Guage https://gauge.org/	Kotest https://github.com/kotest/kotest
Programming language	.NET	Kotlin
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Gauge is a light-weight cross-platform test automation tool for writing acceptance tests. Gauge is a free and open source framework for writing and running acceptance tests. Some of its key features include: -Simple, flexible and rich syntax based on Markdown.; -Consistent cross platform/language support for writing test code.; -A modular architecture with plugins support.	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.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test front-end behaviour	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end behaviour by creating testing specifications to test back-end behaviour	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 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.		Yes kotest has group fixtures available
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

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 You can create mocks using third party libraries like moq	Yes You can use a third party library like mockk to create mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with Gauge which can be run using multiple parameters.	Yes You can create test suites with kotest
