What are the differences between PHPUnit and TestCafe?

	PHPUnit https://phpunit.de/	TestCafe https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	End-to-End Testing, Regression 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.	TestCafe is a Node.js tool to automate end-to-end web testing. TestCafe runs on Windows, MacOs, and Linux and supports mobile, remote and cloud browsers (UI or headless). It is also free and open source
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 TestCafe is primarily a front-end testing tool
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By performing unit tests on singular back-end components	No
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 You can create fixtures with TestCafe
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 We can mock requests with the 'RequestMock' hook
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	N/A
