Jasmine vs Kahlan comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Jasmine and Kahlan?

	Jasmine https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan
Programming language	JavaScript	PHP
Category	Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing	Unit Testing
General info	JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runner It's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites	Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing framework It is a full-featured BDD testing framework that embraces the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) design principle. Kahlan makes it possible to write unit tests using the 'describe-it' syntax and requires at least PHP 5.5
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 Jasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality	Yes Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Jasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour	Yes You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML fixtures	Yes Fixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method
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 You can write group fixtures
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)	By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests	Yes With Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking)
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Using the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level.	Yes Kahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping
