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

	Tyrtle https://github.com/spadgos/tyrtle	Kotest https://github.com/kotest/kotest
Programming language	JavaScript	Kotlin
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Tyrtle is a Javascript unit testing framework that emphasises simplicity, cleanliness and expressiveness. Tyrtle runs either in the browser or on NodeJS. In a CommonJS environment (eg: Node, or the browser running RequireJS), nothing is added to the global space, and with plain Javascript in the browser, only one variable is added to the window object. This keeps it clean and ensures that it won't interfere with your codebase.	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.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end pieces of code can be tested, you can test various components and functionality	Yes You can test front-end components with kotest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end components and functions can be tested using tyrtle	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	N/A	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.	N/A	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 By using Myrtle, a sister project of Tyrtle which provides various Mocking features such as: -Mocking (spying and stubbing functions); -Mock function generation; -Timer manipulation-Speed profiling	Yes You can use a third party library like mockk to create mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can create test suites with kotest
