Enhance PHP vs ExUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Enhance PHP and ExUnit?

	Enhance PHP http://www.enhance-php.com/	ExUnit https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html
Programming language	PHP	Elixir
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	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	Unit testing framework for Elixir. Elixir comes bundled with ExUnit allowing developers to use all elixir features without compromising unit tests. It uses a TDD workflow, and shows one message per test
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes xUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes It tests front-end functionality and can run in the browser	Yes Front-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	N/A	Yes ExUnit tests backend code. Typically Unit tests will be written not to interact with the browser, but with ExUnit you can test whichever part of your application
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes One is able to write fixtures in Enhance PHP	Yes ExUnit has a library called ExUnitFixtures fixtures are functions that are run before a test is run to setup the test environment or provide the test with data
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 One is able to write group fixtures in Enhance PHP	Yes Group fixures are possible with this library
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 Generators are found in the StreamData module
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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 Enhance PHP has built-in support for mocks and stubs. You can set up expectations and supply predictable return values	Yes Mocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into suites with Enhance PHP	Yes Using the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests
