General info |
Behat is an open source Behavior-Driven Development framework for PHP.Behat uses the StoryBDD subtype of behaviour-driven development (the other subtype is SpecBDD); This means the tests we write with Behat look rather like stories than code. It is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber |
Jnario is a test framework for Java focusing on the design and documentation aspects of testingJnario is based on Xtend and consists of two domain-specific languages, one for writing readable acceptance tests, the other for succinct unit tests. Together they are well suited for behavior-driven development of Java programs. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesIt is an xUnit type testing framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesTo enable Behat to test a website, you need to add Mink and a browser emulator (selenium maybe, though slow) to the mix. Mink methods are the connector between Behat and an extensive list of available drivers, and they provide a consistent testing API. |
YesYou can write scenarios to test various front-end behaviours using 'Given', 'When', 'Then' steps to describe simple scenarios |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesBehat can be used for Data Integrity Testing to verify that database operations are functioning properly |
YesYou can write unit tests to test server side behaviours and components using Jnario specs |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesOne can use the 'Doctrinefixturesbundle' to create the required fixture loaders and load them in our Behat scenarios when required, using the 'BeforeScenario' hook. |
YesIt contains the Setup & Teardown functions similar to JUnit but less verbose |
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. |
YesBehat allows for group fixtures |
YesThe Setup & Teardown functions can be used as 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. |

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) |
By using third party libraries like Mock and Prophecy |
YesYou can implement mocking through the use of a third partylibrary like Mockito |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can use tags to group features and scenarios together, independent of your file and directory structure |
YesJnario Suites allows you to group multiple specifications into suites and execute them together, you do this using the suite wizard |
