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

	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan	Google Puppeteer https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Browser Automation
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	Puppeteer is a Node library which provides browser automation for chrome and chromium Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium; It provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol
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 Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily	Yes Most things you can do manually in the browser can be done using puppeteer, therefore you can create a testing environment for your tests to run directly. You can test front-end functionality such as UI testing with puppeteer
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan	No
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	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
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)	No
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	No
