Airtap vs Karma: What are the differences?

Developers describe Airtap as "Test your JavaScript in 800+ browsers". Airtap tests your JavaScript in browsers using a TAP-producing harness. On the other hand, Karma is detailed as "Spectacular Test Runner for JavaScript". Karma is not a testing framework, nor an assertion library. Karma just launches a HTTP server, and generates the test runner HTML file you probably already know from your favourite testing framework. So for testing purposes you can use pretty much anything you like.

Airtap and Karma can be categorized as "Browser Testing" tools.

Airtap and Karma are both open source tools. It seems that Karma with 10.7K GitHub stars and 1.61K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Airtap with 1.33K GitHub stars and 50 GitHub forks.
