TestOOB vs Atoum comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TestOOB and Atoum?

	TestOOB https://pypi.org/project/testoob/	Atoum http://atoum.org/
Programming language	Python	PHP
Category	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions	Unit Testing
General info	Testoob is an advanced unit testing framework for Python. Testoob integrates with existing unittest test suites. It contains many features like: a filter which tests to run with regular expressions, output test results as XML/HTML/PDF, test skipping, color output on a terminal and more.	Atoum is a unit testing framework specific to the PHP language Atoum is similar to SimpleTest and is designed to be implemented rapidly, simplify test development and allow for writing reliable, readable, and clear unit tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Testoob can test front-end features since it is a unit testing tool. One can write a test for each function that is on the client side	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on various front-end components and behaviours
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Testoob can test back-end functionality since it is a unit testing tool. One can write a test for each function in the back-end.	Yes Autom can perform unit tests on servers/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 TestOOB extends unittest and prepares fixtures by use of the 'setUp() function just like unittest	Yes By using the 'given()' method to setup your environment
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 The 'setUp()' function allows you to group your initialization functions	Yes By using the 'given()' method to setup your environments
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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	Atoum License
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 Mocks are available - testoob can acess library unittest.mock which is used for mocking	Yes By use of autom mocks which are decoupled and easier to maintain
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can build suites with testoob	Yes By use of an extension for autom called blackfire which allows you to write blackfire test suites.
