Kahlan vs Arquillian comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Kahlan and Arquillian?

	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan	Arquillian http://arquillian.org/
Programming language	PHP	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Intergration Testing, Functional Testing
General info	Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing framework It 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	Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional tests Arquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is a xUnit framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily	Yes You can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan	Yes You can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method	Yes By use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database 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 You can write group fixtures	Yes You can define 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.	N/A	N/A

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 With Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking)	Yes Arquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Kahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping	Yes Arquilian supports grouping of tests
