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

	Cuppa http://cuppa.forgerock.org/	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ Cuppa is a testing framework for Java 8+ that is descriptive that is; it uses strings,not identifiers , to clearly describe the behaviour you are testing it also allows you to Group tests together by creating a structure in your test files to reduce repetition and improve readability and also you Define tests at runtime	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.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test your front-end code as individual components of code	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 test server-side components and functionality with Cuppa.	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	Yes Fixtures are available via the Setup and Teardown functions	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.	Yes You groups of tests can share these fixture methods	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	Yes This is a feature of cuppa, it allows you to group your tests together	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite
