PHPSpec vs Fixie comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between PHPSpec and Fixie?

	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/	Fixie http://fixie.github.io/
Programming language	PHP	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	PhpSpec is a testing tool based on the concept of emergent design using specification PhpSpec is a tool to use at the spec level or SpecBDD, a type of BDD; It's process generates code for you and guides you through the SpecBDD process through the command line	Fixie is a .NET test framework similar to NUnit and xUnit Fixie allows test methods to be created and executed like other test frameworks, but takes a takes a conventions-based approach, which is a benefit as we do not need to use attributes to mark classes and methods as tests
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes fixie is an xUnit type testing framework
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes By testing your PHP classes that run your front-end	Yes You can unit test front-end components of youra pplications with fixie
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can use PHPSpec to test your PHP classes that run your back-end	Yes You can unit test back-end components of your applications with fixie
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes You can define fixtures	Yes Yes, fixie has fixture methods for setting up tests and at the end of tests to destroy them
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 define group fixtures	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.	Yes There are methods that act as generators	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Free	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 It has built in support for Mocks	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite	Yes You can group tests into suites
