What are the differences between Test::Unit and PHPUnit?

	Test::Unit https://test-unit.github.io/	PHPUnit https://phpunit.de/
Programming language	Ruby	PHP
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Test::Unit is a unit testing framework for Ruby Test::Unit is an implementation of the xUnit testing framework for ruby which is used for Unit Testing. However Test::Unit has been left in the standard library to support legacy test suites therefore if you are writing new test code use Minitest instead of Test::Unit	PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for the PHP programming language PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework and is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes test-unit is a xUnit family unit testing framework for Ruby	Yes It's an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	It could have tested some front-end components but its now legacy hence wouldn't work with the many new front-end components	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various front-end components and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes	Yes By performing unit tests on singular back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixture methods are available through its ClassMethods Module	Yes By use of a setup code. The setup code consists of two Important template functions, the 'setUp()' function (called to create the objects to be tested) and 'tearDown()' function (called to cleanup the objects which you tested)
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 Group fixture methods are supported	Yes It does support 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.	No	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)	No	Yes One of its main features is that PHPUnit comes with out of the box support for Mock objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No	Yes It allows grouping of tests and by using the @group annotation one can tag a test to belong to one or more groups
