Category	Browser Automation, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Elixir library for browser automation and writing intergration tests It is a front-end testing library that has support for: Selenium (Firefox, Chrome), ChromeDriver and PhantomJs. Also supports JavaScript applications and retries tests a few times before reporting errors	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 Allows for browser Automation and writing of end-to-end tests for web apps, supports Selenium WebDriver, ChromeDriver, and PhantomJS - GhostDriver	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	N/A	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	N/A	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
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.	Yes Not inbuilt but by use of a third party library like ExopData	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 Yes, through the use of a third party library like Mockery	Yes You can use a third party library like mockk to create mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can create test suites with kotest
