General info |
PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for the PHP programming languagePHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework and is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. |
Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional testsArquilian 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. |
YesIt's an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks |
YesIt is a xUnit framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesIt can perform Unit tests and can test various front-end components and behaviours |
YesYou can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesBy performing unit tests on singular back-end components |
YesYou 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 |
YesBy use of a setup code. The setup code consists of two Important template functions, the 'setUp()' function (called to create the objects to be tested) and 'tearDown()' function (called to cleanup the objects which you tested) |
YesBy 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. |
YesIt does support group fixtures |
YesYou 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. |

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) |
YesOne of its main features is that PHPUnit comes with out of the box support for Mock objects |
YesArquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesIt allows grouping of tests and by using the @group annotation one can tag a test to belong to one or more groups |
YesArquilian supports grouping of tests |
