Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, you can test back-end components with kotest
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
