Cucumber-JVM vs Enhance PHP comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Cucumber-JVM and Enhance PHP?

	Cucumber-JVM https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm	Enhance PHP http://www.enhance-php.com/
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Cucumber-JVM is a pure Java implementation of Cucumber The specifications are written in plain texts, which allows them to be easily understandable by all stakeholders.	Enhance PHP is a lightweight Open Source PHP unit testing framework It has support for mocks and stubs and runs in the browser, or via the command line
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 You can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber with serenity, they integrate well to test your front-end.	Yes It tests front-end functionality and can run in the browser
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components such as API's using rest&soap clients, and databases	N/A
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Using the cucumber extension aruba you can create fixures in two steps: 1.Create a fixtures-directory; 2.Create fixture files in this directory	Yes One is able to write fixtures in Enhance PHP
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 You can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories	Yes One is able to write group fixtures in Enhance PHP
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	Apache License 2.0
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 By using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock)	Yes Enhance PHP has built-in support for mocks and stubs. You can set up expectations and supply predictable return values
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Cucumber allows the use of tag Cucumber feature files or individual tests to group tests. Then, you can pass a Cucumber tagged expression at test execution that specifies the tag (grouped) tests to run. https://www.toolsqa.com/cucumber/cucumber-tags/	Yes You can group tests into suites with Enhance PHP
