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. |
Lettuce is a BDD testing tool for PythonLettuce is a testing tool for Python which is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber that supports Gherkin. It can execute plain-text functional descriptions as automated tests for Python projects just like Cucumber does for Ruby |
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 |
NoHowever It can generate xml results for behaviour tests xUnit style |
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 |
YesBy integrating Lettuce with Selenium’s Python bindings, you have a robust framework for testing Django applications. It can test front-end behaviour |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesBy performing unit tests on singular back-end components |
YesLettuce can test various server and database behaviours and interactions |
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) |
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. |
YesIt 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 |
YesBy using a third party library |

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 |
By adding the lettuce-tools library one has access to the Mock module to implement a configurable http REST mock. |
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 |
YesIt allows grouping of tests |
