Tyrtle vs Enhance PHP comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Tyrtle and Enhance PHP?

	Tyrtle https://github.com/spadgos/tyrtle	Enhance PHP http://www.enhance-php.com/
Programming language	JavaScript	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Tyrtle is a Javascript unit testing framework that emphasises simplicity, cleanliness and expressiveness. Tyrtle runs either in the browser or on NodeJS. In a CommonJS environment (eg: Node, or the browser running RequireJS), nothing is added to the global space, and with plain Javascript in the browser, only one variable is added to the window object. This keeps it clean and ensures that it won't interfere with your codebase.	Enhance PHP is a lightweight Open Source PHP unit testing framework It has support for mocks and stubs and runs in the browser, or via the command line
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end pieces of code can be tested, you can test various components and functionality	Yes It tests front-end functionality and can run in the browser
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end components and functions can be tested using tyrtle	N/A
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes One is able to write fixtures in Enhance PHP
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.	N/A	Yes One is able to write group fixtures in Enhance PHP
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

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 By using Myrtle, a sister project of Tyrtle which provides various Mocking features such as: -Mocking (spying and stubbing functions); -Mock function generation; -Timer manipulation-Speed profiling	Yes Enhance PHP has built-in support for mocks and stubs. You can set up expectations and supply predictable return values
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can group tests into suites with Enhance PHP
