csUnit vs SimpleTest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between csUnit and SimpleTest?

	csUnit http://www.csunit.org/	SimpleTest https://github.com/simpletest/simpletest
Programming language	.NET	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Web 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#	SimpleTest is a unit test and web test framework for PHP It has JWebUnit style functionality and support for SSL, forms, frames, proxies and basic authentication
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 With SimpleTest common but fiddly PHP tasks, such as logging into a site, can be tested easily
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 Server-side behaviour can be tested by writing simple unit tests to test functionality and behaviour of single 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 It can import fixtures using a mixin like 'given()' method
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 It allows grouping of 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.	N/A	Yes Simpletest has support for generators

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 It allows for one to build Mock objects.To create a mock version of a class we need to include the mock object library and run the generator. This will create a clone class which we use to create new instances(objects) in our test cases.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes It contains recipes for combining several test assemblies into one test suite	Yes There are several ways of grouping tests; one is to simply place multiple test cases into a single file, another is to mark any base test cases that should not be run as abstract, Simpletest gives you a couple of options
