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

	Atoum http://atoum.org/	LightBDD https://github.com/LightBDD/LightBDD
Programming language	PHP	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance 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	LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable tests LightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No No, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie.
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 test front-end behaviour using lightBDD
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 test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD
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 Fixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class.
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 Group fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class
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	Proprietary 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	Yes Mocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq
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
