Codedeception vs Jasmine comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Codedeception and Jasmine?

	Codedeception https://codeception.com/	Jasmine https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing/Functional Testing	Unit Testing, End-to-End Testing
General info	Codeception is a full-stack testing framework for PHP It is inspired by BDD and provides a way of writing acceptance, functional and even unit tests. It is powered by PHPUnit.	JS Unit test framework, BDD based for Node.JS applications used with Angular.JS web applications and also paired with 'Karma' task runner It's a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) test framework for JavaScript especially designed for manual QAs to understand the automation tests. It does not depend on the any JavaScript framework or browser. So it's very well suited for Node.js projects and websites
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 One is able to write acceptance tests which are used to look at functionality from a user's perspective. It is able to look at pages in browser (Chrome, Firefox or PhpBrowser)	Yes Jasmine works well in and with browsers to test client-side components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It supports back-end tests, by writing functionaltests one can be able to test server behaviour	Yes Jasmine works with NodeJs to test its back-end components and behaviour
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes One can define a fixture and write the test with Codedeception, use the yii2-codedeceptionextention which will autoload fixtures for you	Yes By using 'jasmine-fixture' which can help write specs that interact with the DOM making it easier to injectHTML 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.	Yes One can define group fixtures	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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT 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)	Yes Codeception provides Codeception\Stub library for building mocks and stubs for tests	By using a a plugin called jasmine-ajax that allows ajax calls to be mocked out in tests
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Codeception consists of three so-called “suites”: A “unit suite” for all unit tests, a “functional suite” for all functional tests, and an “acceptance suite” for all acceptance tests.	Yes Using the describe function which is for grouping related tests, typically each test file has one at the top level.
