XCTest vs Artos comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between XCTest and Artos?

	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest	Artos https://www.theartos.com/
Programming language	Swift	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Performance Testing	Functional Testing, End-to-End Testing, Unit Testing
General info	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.	Artos is an opensource BDD testing framework for writing Unit, Intergration and Functional tests Artos includes pre-configured logging framework and extent reports, utilities to write flow for manual/semi-automated testing and supports BDD testing using cucumber scripts.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style framework	Yes It is a xUnit style framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest	Yes With Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest	Yes You can unit test server side behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments	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 Group fixtures are available in XCTest	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	MIT 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 create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo	You can use a third party library like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class	Yes Artos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script
