General info |
Artos is an opensource BDD testing framework for writing Unit, Intergration and Functional testsArtos includes pre-configured logging framework and extent reports, utilities to write flow for manual/semi-automated testing and supports BDD testing using cucumber scripts. |
Behat is an open source Behavior-Driven Development framework for PHP.Behat uses the StoryBDD subtype of behaviour-driven development (the other subtype is SpecBDD); This means the tests we write with Behat look rather like stories than code. It is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt is a xUnit style framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesWith Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components |
YesTo enable Behat to test a website, you need to add Mink and a browser emulator (selenium maybe, though slow) to the mix. Mink methods are the connector between Behat and an extensive list of available drivers, and they provide a consistent testing API. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can unit test server side behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions |
YesBehat can be used for Data Integrity Testing to verify that database operations are functioning properly |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesOne can use the 'Doctrinefixturesbundle' to create the required fixture loaders and load them in our Behat scenarios when required, using the 'BeforeScenario' hook. |
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 |
YesBehat allows for 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 |
By use of third party libraries like moodle-behat-generators |

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) |
You can use a third party library like mockito |
By using third party libraries like Mock and Prophecy |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesArtos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script |
YesYou can use tags to group features and scenarios together, independent of your file and directory structure |
