DOH vs Atoum comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between DOH and Atoum?

	DOH https://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/util/doh.html	Atoum http://atoum.org/
Programming language	JavaScript	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	D.O.H means Dojo Objective Harness, it's a test framework for the DOJO web apps which tests and runs on the browser and on cloud test execution services like Browserstack Dojo is a Typescript framework build for modern web application, and D.O.H is a basically unit test library to test JavaScript functions and custom widgets	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.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes DOH is both flexible and extendable and runs in many environments including many browsers to test various front-end functionalities and components	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 Pieces of back-end code can be tested with DOH as it performs Unit tests. It is flexible enough to test server-side behaviour and functionality	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	It has various fixture methods like setUp(), tearDown() and Performance test fixtures which are just like a regular test fixtures, but with extra options. Specifically, it uses 'testType' to mark it as a "perf" test, which instructs the D.O.H. runner to treat the tests as performance and use the calibrate and execute test runner	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 It supports group fixtures	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	FreeBSD 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)	N/A	Yes By use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes There is a function that allows you to group tests, the 'doh.register(...)' function. It's most commonly used for registering Unit Tests	Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites.
