Kahlan vs Spinach comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Kahlan and Spinach?

	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach
Programming language	PHP	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing framework It 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	Spinach is a BDD framework on top of Gherkin Spinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria.
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 Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily	N/A
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method	No
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 can write group fixtures	No
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 Spinach has inbuilt generator methods
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	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 With Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking)	Yes Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Kahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
