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 |
SimpleTest is a unit test and web test framework for PHP It has JWebUnit style functionality and support for SSL, forms, frames, proxies and basic authentication |
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 With SimpleTest common but fiddly PHP tasks, such as logging into a site, can be tested easily |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes Autom can perform unit tests on servers/back-end components |
Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested by writing simple unit tests to test functionality and behaviour of single components. |
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 It can import fixtures using a mixin like 'given()' method |
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 It allows grouping of 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 Simpletest has support for 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 allows for one to build Mock objects.To create a mock version of a class we need to include the mock object library and run the generator. This will create a clone class which we use to create new instances(objects) in our test cases. |
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 There are several ways of grouping tests; one is to simply place multiple test cases into a single file, another is to mark any base test cases that should not be run as abstract, Simpletest gives you a couple of options |
