PHPUnit vs. TestNG vs. WinSQL vs. dbForge Unit Test 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.

WinSQL is a powerful universal database management tool that is used by 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies and more than a million programmers and DBAs around the globe. WinSQL is a generic querying tool that connects to any relational database (RDBMS) for which an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver is available, virtually all RDBMS on the market today. Connect to a variety of databases, including: heavy duty vendors Oracle, MS SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, Informix to lightweight backends like MS Access, DBase, and Text File. Generate royalty-free executables that can be used by your business users to run queries. These can be either static or dynamic queries that pull fresh data from the back-end. Export or simply open any query results into MS Excel with just a click of your mouse. You can even import an existing Excel spreadsheet to a database table by simply dragging an *.XSL file in the catalog tree.
