JGiven vs Kotest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between JGiven and Kotest?

	JGiven http://jgiven.org/	Kotest https://github.com/kotest/kotest
Programming language	Java	Kotlin
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	JGiven is a BDD tool for Java in plain java. With JGiven Developers write scenarios in plain Java using a fluent, domain-specific API, JGiven generates reports that are readable by domain experts.	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 UI functionality or behaviour by writing scenarios that cover 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 write 'scenarios' to test server-side behaviours	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.	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.	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 use third party libraries such as JMock and JMockit to mock objects and functions	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 kotest
