Unitils vs Kahlan comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Unitils and Kahlan?

	Unitils http://www.unitils.org/summary.html	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Unitils is an open source library whose goal is to make unit and integration testing easy and maintainable. Unitils is divided into modules, each of them providing support for a certain aspect of your unit and integration tests. For example if you need mocking for your tests, just include unitils-mock as a dependency, If you would also want to load DbUnit data sets, just include unitils-dbunit	Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing framework It is a full-featured BDD testing framework that embraces the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) design principle. Kahlan makes it possible to write unit tests using the 'describe-it' syntax and requires at least PHP 5.5
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 You can perform unit tests on various components and functionality that make up the front-end	Yes Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Unitils provides support for testing the back-end through modules such as DbUnit which specifically tests your database, i.e connections setup and so on	Yes You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes Fixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method
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 You can write 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.		N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software		MIT 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 With Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking)
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Kahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping
