General info |
Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnitFixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests |
Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing frameworkIt is a full-featured BDD testing framework that embraces the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) design principle. Kahlan makes it possible to write unit tests using the 'describe-it' syntax and requires at least PHP 5.5 |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
Yesfixie is an xUnit type testing framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie |
YesKahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie |
YesYou can test individual back-end components using Kahlan |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesYes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them |
YesFixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'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. |
N/A |
YesYou can write 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. |

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 |
YesWith Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking) |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
YesKahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping |
