What are the differences between Atoum and Arquillian?

	Atoum http://atoum.org/	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/
Programming language	PHP	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing
General info	Atoum is a unit testing framework specific to the PHP language Atoum is similar to SimpleTest and is designed to be implemented rapidly, simplify test development and allow for writing reliable, readable, and clear unit tests	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
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is a xUnit framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on various front-end components and behaviours	Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on servers/back-end components	Yes You can unit tests on back-end 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 By using the 'given()' method to setup your environment	Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures
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 By using the 'given()' method to setup your environments	Yes You 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	Atoum License	Apache License 2.0
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 use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain	Yes Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites.	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests
