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

	SimpleTest https://github.com/simpletest/simpletest	teenytest https://github.com/testdouble/teenytest
Programming language	PHP	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing, Web 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	Teenytest is a simple, zero-config test runner for NodeJS Teenytest's CLI will run tests with zero public-API and zero configuration
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It supports xUnit output
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 Teenytest tests database connections and other server-side components and behaviour
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 provides fixtures with the methods beforeAll(),afterEach() and afterAll()beforeAll() creates the browser and gives you a newPage() globalafterEach() will close any pages you created with newPage()afterAll() closes the browser
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 Teeny test supports grouping of 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

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	Yes Grouping is supported through nested tests in which any object can contain any combination of hooks, test functions, and additional sub-test objects.
