Kotest vs EvoSuite comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Kotest and EvoSuite?

	Kotest https://github.com/kotest/kotest	EvoSuite http://www.evosuite.org/
Programming language	Kotlin	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
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	EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates unit tests for Java software EvoSuite is a tool that automatically generates test cases with assertions for classes written in Java code by applying a hybrid approach that generates and optimizes whole test suites towards satisfying a coverage criterion
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 You can test front-end components with kotest	Yes You can test front-end code by testing the classes that provide front-end functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, you can test back-end components with kotest	Yes You can test server-side functionality and components
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	You can write your own fixtures but no inbuilt fixtures are provided
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
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	Apache License 2.0	GNU 2.1 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 You can use a third party library like mockk to create mocks	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with kotest	Yes Suites are generated automatically in evosuite
