What are the differences between Buster.JS and Peridot?

	Buster.JS https://busterjs.readthedocs.io	Peridot http://peridot-php.github.io/
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.	Peridot is a lightweight, extensible testing framework for PHP It features an event-driven architecture that allows testers to easily customize the framework via plugins and reporters, and uses the 'describe-it', syntax making the testing language clear and readable
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 Front-end components can be tested with Peridot
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 Back-end componets and behaviours can be tested as small units
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 Peridot has several methods that allow one to create and 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.	N/A	Yes There are methods to create group fixtures in Peridot
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	MIT 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	Peridot does not include mocking out of the box but there are some great tools like 'Mockery' and 'Prophecy' which Peridot intergrates very well with
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes By use of describe and context blocks and it has a Runner which is responsible for running a given Suite.
