Kiwi vs Tape comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Kiwi and Tape?

	Kiwi https://github.com/kiwi-bdd/Kiwi	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape
Programming language	Swift	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS development The goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework.	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Kiwi is an xUnit style framework	Yes It does support xUnit output
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components with kiwi	Yes You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components with kiwi	Yes With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality
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 kiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts	No
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 through the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions.	No
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Proprietary, Open source	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 Kiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Kiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code
