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

	Atoum http://atoum.org/	Google Puppeteer https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Browser Automation
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	Puppeteer is a Node library which provides browser automation for chrome and chromium Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium; It provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol
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 Most things you can do manually in the browser can be done using puppeteer, therefore you can create a testing environment for your tests to run directly. You can test front-end functionality such as UI testing with puppeteer
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on servers/back-end components	No
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	N/A
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	No
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	No
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites.	No
