xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No No, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie.
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 test front-end behaviour using lightBDD
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 test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD
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 Fixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class.
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 Group fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class
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)	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 Mocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq
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 You can group tests into suites
