PHPUnit vs JDave comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between PHPUnit and JDave?

	PHPUnit https://phpunit.de/	JDave http://jdave.org/
Programming language	PHP	Java
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
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.	JDave is a BDD framework for Java JDave is inspired by RSpec and integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework and Hamcrest as matching library. It uses JUnit adapter to launch JDave specifications. This way it is possible to have IDE, build tool and coverage tool support from day one.
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 Front-end behaviour can be tested with JDave
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By performing unit tests on singular back-end components	Yes JDave can test server-side behaviour
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)	N/A
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	N/A
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	Yes It integrates JMock 2 as mocking framework
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 Specifications can be grouped by tagging them with @Group annotation.
