What are the differences between Kahlan and Artos?

	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan	Artos https://www.theartos.com/
Programming language	PHP	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Functional Testing, End-to-End Testing, Unit Testing
General info	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	Artos is an opensource BDD testing framework for writing Unit, Intergration and Functional tests Artos includes pre-configured logging framework and extent reports, utilities to write flow for manual/semi-automated testing and supports BDD testing using cucumber scripts.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is a xUnit style framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily	Yes With Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan	Yes You can unit test server side behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method	N/A
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 You can write group fixtures	N/A
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)	Yes With Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking)	You can use a third party library like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Kahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping	Yes Artos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script
