General info |
Dbunit is a Junit extension for unit testing database driven programsDbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can also work with very large datasets when used in streaming mode and can also help you to verify that your database data match an expected set of values |
Behat is an open source Behavior-Driven Development framework for PHP.Behat uses the StoryBDD subtype of behaviour-driven development (the other subtype is SpecBDD); This means the tests we write with Behat look rather like stories than code. It is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt is a JUnit extension which is one of the most widely known members of the xUnit family |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
No |
YesTo enable Behat to test a website, you need to add Mink and a browser emulator (selenium maybe, though slow) to the mix. Mink methods are the connector between Behat and an extensive list of available drivers, and they provide a consistent testing API. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes its used to test database functionality |
YesBehat can be used for Data Integrity Testing to verify that database operations are functioning properly |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesOne can use the 'Doctrinefixturesbundle' to create the required fixture loaders and load them in our Behat scenarios when required, using the 'BeforeScenario' hook. |
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 |
YesBehat allows for group 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 |
By use of third party libraries like moodle-behat-generators |
Licence
Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software |

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) |
No |
By using third party libraries like Mock and Prophecy |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
No |
YesYou can use tags to group features and scenarios together, independent of your file and directory structure |
