Lens vs Specter comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Lens and Specter?

	Lens https://github.com/spencer-mortensen/lens	Specter http://specter.sourceforge.net/
Programming language	PHP	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	Lens is a unit-testing framework for PHP Lens is a unit-testing framework for PHP that needs no assertions	Specter is a behaviour-driven development framework for .NET and Mono Specter enables behavior driven development (BDD) by allowing developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them, this is similar to test driven development however the different nomenclature makes it different from writing 'tests' for code that does not exist yet
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes It can test front end components	Yes Developers can create specfications of the expected front-end behaviours and test them
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It can test back-end behaviour	Yes Yes developers can create specfications of the expected back-end behaviours and test these.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	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.	N/A	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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	N/A	BSD 3-Clause 'New' or 'Revised' 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)	N/A	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes You can create your own test suites with specter
