Arquillian vs Codedeception comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Arquillian and Codedeception?

	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/	Codedeception https://codeception.com/
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing/Functional Testing
General info	Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional tests Arquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well	Codeception is a full-stack testing framework for PHP It is inspired by BDD and provides a way of writing acceptance, functional and even unit tests. It is powered by PHPUnit.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is a xUnit framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality	Yes One is able to write acceptance tests which are used to look at functionality from a user's perspective. It is able to look at pages in browser (Chrome, Firefox or PhpBrowser)
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions	Yes It supports back-end tests, by writing functionaltests one can be able to test server behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures	Yes One can define a fixture and write the test with Codedeception, use the yii2-codedeceptionextention which will autoload fixtures for you
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 You can define group fixtures	Yes One can define group fixtures
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 Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries	Yes Codeception provides Codeception\Stub library for building mocks and stubs for tests
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests	Yes Codeception consists of three so-called “suites”: A “unit suite” for all unit tests, a “functional suite” for all functional tests, and an “acceptance suite” for all acceptance tests.
