General info	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	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 You can test front-end components with kotest	Yes With Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, you can test back-end components with kotest	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 kotest contains fixtures, that is the setup / teardown functions	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 kotest has group fixtures available	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 a third party library like mockk to create mocks	You can use a third party library like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with kotest	Yes Artos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script
