JGiven vs Behat comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between JGiven and Behat?

	JGiven http://jgiven.org/	Behat https://docs.behat.org/en/latest/
Programming language	Java	PHP
Category	Acceptance Testing	Functional/Acceptance Testing
General info	JGiven is a BDD tool for Java in plain java. With JGiven Developers write scenarios in plain Java using a fluent, domain-specific API, JGiven generates reports that are readable by domain experts.	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
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 UI functionality or behaviour by writing scenarios that cover front-end behaviour	Yes To 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.
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can write 'scenarios' to test server-side behaviours	Yes Behat can be used for Data Integrity Testing to verify that database operations are functioning properly
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test		Yes One can use the 'Doctrinefixturesbundle' to create the required fixture loaders and load them in our Behat scenarios when required, using the 'BeforeScenario' hook.
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 Behat allows for 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	By use of third party libraries like moodle-behat-generators
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software		MIT License
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)	Yes You can use third party libraries such as JMock and JMockit to mock objects and functions	By using third party libraries like Mock and Prophecy
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes You can use tags to group features and scenarios together, independent of your file and directory structure
