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

	Kiwi https://github.com/kiwi-bdd/Kiwi	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest
Programming language	Swift	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Performance 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.	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.
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 Yes, it is an xUnit style framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components with kiwi	Yes Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components with kiwi	Yes Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments
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	Yes Group fixtures are available in XCTest
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.	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Proprietary, Open source	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 Kiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks	Yes You can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo
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	Yes Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class
