SimpleTest vs Crosscheck comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between SimpleTest and Crosscheck?

	SimpleTest https://github.com/simpletest/simpletest	Crosscheck https://github.com/cross-check/cross-check
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Web Testing	Unit Testing
General info	SimpleTest is a unit test and web test framework for PHP It has JWebUnit style functionality and support for SSL, forms, frames, proxies and basic authentication	Crosscheck is a JavaScript unit-testing framework capable of emulating multiple browser environments Crosscheck is an open source testing framework for verifying your in-browser JavaScript. It helps you ensure that your code will run in many different browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox, but without needing installations of those browsers. The only thing you need is a Java Virtual Machine.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	N/A
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes With SimpleTest common but fiddly PHP tasks, such as logging into a site, can be tested easily	No
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested by writing simple unit tests to test functionality and behaviour of single components.	Yes Crosscheck is used to verify in-browser JavaScript and is a headless test framework, it tests back-end components and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes It can import fixtures using a mixin like 'given()' method	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 allows grouping of 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.	Yes Simpletest has support for generators	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1	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 It allows for one to build Mock objects.To create a mock version of a class we need to include the mock object library and run the generator. This will create a clone class which we use to create new instances(objects) in our test cases.	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes There are several ways of grouping tests; one is to simply place multiple test cases into a single file, another is to mark any base test cases that should not be run as abstract, Simpletest gives you a couple of options	N/A
