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

	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/	Minitest https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest
Programming language	PHP	Ruby
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	Complete suite of testing facilities Minitest is small, fast, and it aims to make tests clean and readable. It supports test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), mocking, and benchmarking.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes MiniTest is an xUnit style framework in that is has assertion functions in the style of xUnit/TDD
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	No
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 test various back-end components
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 Minitest supports test fixture functions
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	Yes Minitest has group fixtures
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
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	Yes Mocking is available through the Minitest::Mock class which is a simple and clean mock object framework
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite	Yes Allows grouping by nested Ruby classes. RSpec-like "context" method is available for spec syntax through the minitest-spec-context extension gem
