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

	beanSpec https://sourceforge.net/p/beanspec/wiki/Home/	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	beanSpec is a java based testing solution that uses Behaviour Driven Development BeanSpec is a java based testing solution that is used for specifiying, checking and summarizing the behaviour of a component in a declarative, narrative style	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.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes BeanSpec can be used to test 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 BeanSpec is used to test server-side components and functionality	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	Apache License 2.0	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)	N/A	Yes It has built in support for Mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite
