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

	SimpleTest https://github.com/simpletest/simpletest	Jnario http://jnario.org/
Programming language	PHP	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Web Testing	Acceptance 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	Jnario is a test framework for Java focusing on the design and documentation aspects of testing Jnario is based on Xtend and consists of two domain-specific languages, one for writing readable acceptance tests, the other for succinct unit tests. Together they are well suited for behavior-driven development of Java programs.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It is an xUnit type testing framework
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	Yes You can write scenarios to test various front-end behaviours using 'Given', 'When', 'Then' steps to describe simple scenarios
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 You can write unit tests to test server side behaviours and components using Jnario specs
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	Yes It contains the Setup & Teardown functions similar to JUnit but less verbose
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	Yes The Setup & Teardown functions can be used as group fixtures.
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

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.	Yes You can implement mocking through the use of a third partylibrary like Mockito
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	Yes Jnario Suites allows you to group multiple specifications into suites and execute them together, you do this using the suite wizard
