What are the differences between Kotest and Wallaby.js?

	Kotest https://github.com/kotest/kotest	Wallaby.js https://wallabyjs.com/
Programming language	Kotlin	JavaScript
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	Wallaby.js is an integrated continuous testing tool for JavaScript. Wallaby.js runs your tests immediately as you change your code (you don’t even have to save the file) and reports code coverage and other results directly to your code editor. Its also uses various techniques such as dependency analysis to only execute tests affected by your code changes and parallel test execution to ensure your tests run as fast as possible.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest	Yes Wallaby.js can test front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, you can test back-end components with kotest	Yes Wallaby.js can test server behaviour and functionality
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
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	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	By use of a third party library Jest works well with wallaby
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with kotest
