What are the differences between StoryPlayer and Atata?

	StoryPlayer http://datasift.github.io/storyplayer/	Atata https://atata.io/
Programming language	PHP	.NET
Category	Unit testing, Functional Testing
General info	Storyplayer is a full-stack testing framework Storyplayer follows a TDD testing approach and makes it possible to write end-to-end tests for an entire platform. It has support for creating and destroying test environments on demand	Atata is a C# / .NET test automation framework for web Atata is an open source test framework that uses fluent object pattern. It consists of the following concepts: components (controls and page objects), attributes of the control search, settings attributes, triggers, verification attributes and methods
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes You can use Atata with xUnit frameworks
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes By running a 'user story' which is a simple statement that describes one action, and who can perform that action then record of the conversations about this action, this is how you would test front-end functionality and components	Yes Atata is based on selenium and is used for browser automation. You can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By writing a 'service story' which is a 'userstory' except it describes the behaviour of your back-end systems	No
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Storyplayer has fixtures that can create and destroy test environments on demand
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 supports 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 foreach(hostWithRole()) is a generator allows you to easily perform actions against all hosts in your test environment without having to hard-code the host IDs or hostnames into your story.

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)	By using a library like mockery which intergrates well with storyplayer
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Storyplayer’s job is to execute a suite of functional tests
