Peridot vs Quick comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Peridot and Quick?

	Peridot http://peridot-php.github.io/	Quick https://github.com/quick/quick
Programming language	PHP	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing
General info	Peridot is a lightweight, extensible testing framework for PHP It features an event-driven architecture that allows testers to easily customize the framework via plugins and reporters, and uses the 'describe-it', syntax making the testing language clear and readable	Quick is a Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework. Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C that is inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes bundled with Nimble a matcher framework for your tests.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style test framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Front-end components can be tested with Peridot	Yes Developers can test front-end behaviour and components by defining front-end feature specifications
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end componets and behaviours can be tested as small units	Yes Developers can test back-end behaviour and components by defining back-end feature specifications
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Peridot has several methods that allow one to create and define fixtures	Yes Quick contains fixture methods setup() and teardown() for setting up and destroying test environments
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 There are methods to create group fixtures in Peridot	Yes Yes, example groups (logical groupings of examples/tests) can share setup and teardown code
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	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
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)	Peridot does not include mocking out of the box but there are some great tools like 'Mockery' and 'Prophecy' which Peridot intergrates very well with	Yes Yes, developers can create mock objects with Quick using the Cuckoo library
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes By use of describe and context blocks and it has a Runner which is responsible for running a given Suite.	Yes In Quick test suites are named Specs, and every test suite you create starts off with a class inheriting from QuickSpec includes a main method, spec() which contains all the test cases.
