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 |
PhpSpec is a testing tool based on the concept of emergent design using specification PhpSpec is a tool to use at the spec level or SpecBDD, a type of BDD; It's process generates code for you and guides you through the SpecBDD process through the command line |
|
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No

No

|
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 By testing your PHP classes that run your front-end |
|
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 use PHPSpec to test your PHP classes that run your back-end |
|
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 You can define 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
|
Yes There are methods that act as 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) |
Yes By use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain |
Yes It has built in support for Mocks |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites. |
In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite |
