Atoum vs Fixie comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Atoum and Fixie?

	Atoum http://atoum.org/	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/
Programming language	PHP	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Unit 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	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing 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 unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie
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 test back-end components of your applications with fixie
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 Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them
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	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	Atoum License	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 By use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain	N/A
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 You can group tests into suites
