General info |
SimpleTest is a unit test and web test framework for PHPIt has JWebUnit style functionality and support for SSL, forms, frames, proxies and basic authentication |
An assertion library for JavaScript (similar to chai.js)It works with any test runner and unit testing framework like Mocha, Jasmine, Karma, protractor (E2E test framework for Angular apps) and QUnit. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesWith SimpleTest common but fiddly PHP tasks, such as logging into a site, can be tested easily |
YesUnit.js runs in the browser to test front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesServer-side behaviour can be tested by writing simple unit tests to test functionality and behaviour of single components. |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test server-side behaviour |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesIt can import fixtures using a mixin like 'given()' method |
YesUnit.js provides Test fixtures for running testsThis is one of its features |
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 allows grouping of fixtures |
YesWith Unit.js you can group your 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. |
YesSimpletest 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) |
YesIt 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. |

Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesThere 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 |
