Buster.JS vs Atoum comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Buster.JS and Atoum?

	Buster.JS https://busterjs.readthedocs.io	Atoum http://atoum.org/
Programming language	JavaScript	PHP
Category	Unit Testing, Browser Automation	Unit Testing
General info	Buster.JS is a JavaScript test framework for node and browsers. Buster.JS is a new JavaScript testing framework. It does browser testing by automating test runs in actual browsers (think JsTestDriver), as well as Node.js testing. It has a bunch of great features.	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
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Buster.Js is a xUnit style Test Framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes It does browser testing with browser automation, QUnit style static HTML page testing, testing in headless browsers and more front-end components and functionality	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on various front-end components and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It is a Node.js testing toolkit as well which means it can test back-end behaviour and functionality as well as run in a server environment	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on servers/back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes By using the 'given()' method to setup your environment
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.	N/A	Yes By using the 'given()' method to setup your environments
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	BSD License	Atoum 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)	Buster.JS ships with Sinon.JS. every test in a test case has a sandbox associated with it, making it easy to mock and stub	Yes By use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites.
