PHPUnit vs. Python vs. TAST vs. Xdebug Comparison Chart

PHPUnit requires the dom and json extensions, which are normally enabled by default. PHPUnit also requires the pcre, reflection, and spl extensions. These standard extensions are enabled by default and cannot be disabled without patching PHP’s build system and/or C sources. The code coverage report feature requires the Xdebug (2.7.0 or later) and tokenizer extensions. Generating XML reports requires the xmlwriter extension. Unit Tests are primarily written as a good practice to help developers identify and fix bugs, to refactor code and to serve as documentation for a unit of software under test. To achieve these benefits, unit tests ideally should cover all the possible paths in a program. One unit test usually covers one specific path in one function or method. However a test method is not necessarily an encapsulated, independent entity. Often there are implicit dependencies between test methods, hidden in the implementation scenario of a test.

TAST, Test Automation System Tool is a comprehensive cloud test automation framework that enables businesses to maximize their test automation across the complete testing process from an End User´s perspective. It is easy to use and its graphical interface defines the automated test cases across technological platforms. TAST automates: *Cross Browser testing *Mobile testing *Desktop applications testing *DDBB testing: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Db2. *File testing: txt, pdf, word, excel, csv, xml. *Mainframe testing: AS400, Host *APIs testing *Interface testing. *Remote Server testing. Types of tests you can automate with TAST: *Integration *Functional *System: Regressive, stress, load, parallel *Acceptance *A/B.
