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

	Peridot http://peridot-php.github.io/	Jnario http://jnario.org/
Programming language	PHP	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing
General info	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	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.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is an xUnit type testing framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end components can be tested with Peridot	Yes You can write scenarios to test various front-end behaviours using 'Given', 'When', 'Then' steps to describe simple scenarios
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end componets and behaviours can be tested as small units	Yes You can write unit tests to test server side behaviours and components using Jnario specs
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Peridot has several methods that allow one to create and define fixtures	Yes It contains the Setup & Teardown functions similar to JUnit but less verbose
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 There are methods to create group fixtures in Peridot	Yes The Setup & Teardown functions can be used as 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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Eclipse Public License v1.0
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)	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	Yes You can implement mocking through the use of a third partylibrary like Mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By use of describe and context blocks and it has a Runner which is responsible for running a given Suite.	Yes Jnario Suites allows you to group multiple specifications into suites and execute them together, you do this using the suite wizard
