General info	PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for the PHP programming language PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework and is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.	Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ that is descriptive that is; it uses strings,not identifiers , to clearly describe the behaviour you are testing it also allows you to Group tests together by creating a structure in your test files to reduce repetition and improve readability and also you Define tests at runtime
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It's an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various front-end components and behaviours	Yes You can test your front-end code as individual components of code
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By performing unit tests on singular back-end components	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with Cuppa.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes By 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)	Yes Fixtures are available via the Setup and Teardown functions
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 It does support group fixtures	Yes You groups of tests can share these fixture methods
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 One of its main features is that PHPUnit comes with out of the box support for Mock objects	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes It allows grouping of tests and by using the @group annotation one can tag a test to belong to one or more groups	Yes This is a feature of cuppa, it allows you to group your tests together
