Hound vs PHPUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Hound and PHPUnit?

	Hound https://github.com/HashNuke/hound	PHPUnit https://phpunit.de/
Programming language	Elixir	PHP
Category	Browser Automation, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Elixir library for browser automation and writing intergration tests It is a front-end testing library that has support for: Selenium (Firefox, Chrome), ChromeDriver and PhantomJs. Also supports JavaScript applications and retries tests a few times before reporting errors	PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for the PHP programming language PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework and is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It's an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Allows for browser Automation and writing of end-to-end tests for web apps, supports Selenium WebDriver, ChromeDriver, and PhantomJS - GhostDriver	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various front-end components and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	N/A	Yes By performing unit tests on singular 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	N/A	Yes By use of a setup code. The setup code consists of two Important template functions, the 'setUp()' function (called to create the objects to be tested) and 'tearDown()' function (called to cleanup the objects which you tested)
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	Yes It does support 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.	Yes Not inbuilt but by use of a third party library like ExopData	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported 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)	Yes Yes, through the use of a third party library like Mockery	Yes One of its main features is that PHPUnit comes with out of the box support for Mock objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes It allows grouping of tests and by using the @group annotation one can tag a test to belong to one or more groups
