Artos vs PHPSpec comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Artos and PHPSpec?

	Artos https://www.theartos.com/	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Functional Testing, End-to-End Testing, Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Artos is an opensource BDD testing framework for writing Unit, Intergration and Functional tests Artos includes pre-configured logging framework and extent reports, utilities to write flow for manual/semi-automated testing and supports BDD testing using cucumber scripts.	PhpSpec is a testing tool based on the concept of emergent design using specification PhpSpec is a tool to use at the spec level or SpecBDD, a type of BDD; It's process generates code for you and guides you through the SpecBDD process through the command line
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It is a xUnit style framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes With Artos you can perform unit tests on front-end components	Yes By testing your PHP classes that run your front-end
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can unit test server side behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions	Yes You can use PHPSpec to test your PHP classes that run your back-end
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 You can define fixtures
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 You can define 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	Yes There are methods that act as generators
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Free
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 use a third party library like mockito	Yes It has built in support for Mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Artos allows creation of test suites and they are run by use of a test script	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite
