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

	Enhance PHP http://www.enhance-php.com/	SimpleTest https://github.com/simpletest/simpletest
Programming language	PHP	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Web 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	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.	No	No
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 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	N/A	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 One is able to write fixtures in Enhance PHP	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 One is able to write group fixtures in Enhance PHP	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)	Yes Enhance PHP has built-in support for mocks and stubs. You can set up expectations and supply predictable return values	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 You can group tests into suites with Enhance PHP	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
