General info |
Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing frameworkIt is a full-featured BDD testing framework that embraces the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) design principle. Kahlan makes it possible to write unit tests using the 'describe-it' syntax and requires at least PHP 5.5 |
LightBDD is a BDD test framework that allows you to create easy to read and maintainable testsLightBDD is a BDD test framework offering ability to write tests that are easy to read, easy to track during execution and are summarized in user friendly reports. It also allows developers to use all of the standard development tools to maintain them |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
NoNo, but it is Integrated with xUnit frameworkslike NUnit, xUnit, MsTest.TestFramework and Fixie. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesKahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily |
YesYou can test front-end behaviour using lightBDD |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test individual back-end components using Kahlan |
YesYou can test back-end behaviour/functionality using lightBDD |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesFixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method |
YesFixtures are available through the FeatureFixture class. |
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. |
YesYou can write group fixtures |
YesGroup fixtures are available in lightBDD through the FeatureFixture class |
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) |
YesWith Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking) |
YesMocking is available through the use of third party libraries like moq |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesKahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping |
YesYou can group tests into suites |
