What are the differences between csUnit and Atoum?

	csUnit http://www.csunit.org/	Atoum http://atoum.org/
Programming language	.NET	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	csUnit is an open source unit testing tool for the .NET Framework csUnit is designed to work with any .NET compliant language. It has specifically been tested with C#, Visual Basic .NET, Managed C++, and J#	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 csUnit is an xUnit type testing framework and follows xUnit concepts	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can unit test front-end components of your applications with csUnit	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 You can unit test back-end components of your applications with csUnit	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	Yes csUnit has fixture methods such as setup and teardown methods	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.	Yes Group fixtures are available in csUnit	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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	zlib 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)	You can write your own mock objects manually	Yes By use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes It contains recipes for combining several test assemblies into one test suite	Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites.
