Jnario vs Atoum comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Jnario and Atoum?

	Jnario http://jnario.org/	Atoum http://atoum.org/
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Jnario is a test framework for Java focusing on the design and documentation aspects of testing Jnario is based on Xtend and consists of two domain-specific languages, one for writing readable acceptance tests, the other for succinct unit tests. Together they are well suited for behavior-driven development of Java programs.	Atoum is a unit testing framework specific to the PHP language Atoum is similar to SimpleTest and is designed to be implemented rapidly, simplify test development and allow for writing reliable, readable, and clear unit tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is an xUnit type testing framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write scenarios to test various front-end behaviours using 'Given', 'When', 'Then' steps to describe simple scenarios	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on various front-end components and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can write unit tests to test server side behaviours and components using Jnario specs	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on servers/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	Yes It contains the Setup & Teardown functions similar to JUnit but less verbose	Yes By using the 'given()' method to setup your environment
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 The Setup & Teardown functions can be used as group fixtures.	Yes By using the 'given()' method to setup your environments
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Eclipse Public License v1.0	Atoum 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 You can implement mocking through the use of a third partylibrary like Mockito	Yes By use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Jnario Suites allows you to group multiple specifications into suites and execute them together, you do this using the suite wizard	Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites.
