wru vs SimpleTest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between wru and SimpleTest?

	wru https://github.com/WebReflection/wru	SimpleTest https://github.com/simpletest/simpletest
Programming language	JavaScript	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Web Testing
General info	wru is an essential general purpose test framework compatible with web environment, node.js, Rhino, and now PhantomJS too. wru is compatible with basically all possible browsers out there included IE5.5, IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Webkit based, Mobile Browsers, and Opera. On server side wru is compatible with latest node.js, Rhino, PhantomJS, and JavaScriptCore versions.	SimpleTest is a unit test and web test framework for PHP It has JWebUnit style functionality and support for SSL, forms, frames, proxies and basic authentication
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Wru is compatible with xUnit	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Wru tests front-end components and functions, it is compatible with HTML and runs on probably all browsers	Yes With SimpleTest common but fiddly PHP tasks, such as logging into a site, can be tested easily
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It is used to test back-end components and behaviour and runs in server environments	Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested by writing simple unit tests to test functionality and behaviour of single components.
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 It can import fixtures using a mixin like 'given()' 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.	N/A	Yes It allows grouping of 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	Yes Simpletest has support for generators

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)	You can implement your stubs and mocks using a wru.assert(...) when necessary during a specific test.	Yes It allows for one to build Mock objects.To create a mock version of a class we need to include the mock object library and run the generator. This will create a clone class which we use to create new instances(objects) in our test cases.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes There are several ways of grouping tests; one is to simply place multiple test cases into a single file, another is to mark any base test cases that should not be run as abstract, Simpletest gives you a couple of options
