General info |
Behat is an open source Behavior-Driven Development framework for PHP.Behat uses the StoryBDD subtype of behaviour-driven development (the other subtype is SpecBDD); This means the tests we write with Behat look rather like stories than code. It is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber |
This library was designed to work for both Node.js and browser interpreters and it encourages the TDD (Test Driven Development)Test doubles can be used with conjuction of other test frameworks such as Jasmine, Jest, Chai, QUnit, Mocha, Tape etc. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesIt is compatible with xUnit and supportsxUnit XML output |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesTo enable Behat to test a website, you need to add Mink and a browser emulator (selenium maybe, though slow) to the mix. Mink methods are the connector between Behat and an extensive list of available drivers, and they provide a consistent testing API. |
No |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesBehat can be used for Data Integrity Testing to verify that database operations are functioning properly |
YesTestdouble is primarily used to test server-side functions, behaviours and components |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesOne can use the 'Doctrinefixturesbundle' to create the required fixture loaders and load them in our Behat scenarios when required, using the 'BeforeScenario' hook. |
N/A |
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. |
YesBehat allows for group fixtures |
N/A |
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. |

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) |
By using third party libraries like Mock and Prophecy |
YesTestdouble includes inbuilt support for mocking |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can use tags to group features and scenarios together, independent of your file and directory structure |
