What are the differences between JasUnit and Peridot?

Programming language	JavaScript	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	JasUnit is a slim unit testing framework for JavaScript, following the general design principles of xUnit. For testing your code, JasUnit allows you to: Create test fixtures with any number of test methods; Implement setup() and teardown() methods which are run before and after each test; Specify a namespace for a fixture for easy organisation of tests; Use the default or custom logger (default appends results to a given element); Use assertions from any scope - this isn't necessary or even really advised, but some people prefer it.	Peridot is a lightweight, extensible testing framework for PHP It features an event-driven architecture that allows testers to easily customize the framework via plugins and reporters, and uses the 'describe-it', syntax making the testing language clear and readable
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes JasUnit follows the general design principles o xUnit	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes JasUnit is primarily used to test front-end code and functionality	Yes Front-end components can be tested with Peridot
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	No	Yes Back-end componets and behaviours can be tested as small units
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes With JasUnit you can Create test fixtures with any number of test methods Implement setup() and teardown() methods which are run before and after each test	Yes Peridot has several methods that allow one to create and define fixtures
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 JasUnit allow you to create group fixtures	Yes There are methods to create group fixtures in Peridot
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	N/A	MIT 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 It provides inbuilt Mocking capabilities	Peridot does not include mocking out of the box but there are some great tools like 'Mockery' and 'Prophecy' which Peridot intergrates very well with
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes By use of describe and context blocks and it has a Runner which is responsible for running a given Suite.
