What are the differences between LightBDD and Kotest?

	LightBDD https://github.com/LightBDD/LightBDD	Kotest https://github.com/kotest/kotest
Programming language	.NET	Kotlin
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable tests LightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them	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
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No No, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie.	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD	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 Fixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class.	Yes kotest contains fixtures, that is the setup / teardown functions
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 Group fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class	Yes kotest has group fixtures available
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

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 Mocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq	Yes You can use a third party library like mockk to create mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites	Yes You can create test suites with kotest
