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

	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/	NBi http://www.nbi.io/
Programming language	PHP	.NET
Category	Unit Testing	Integration Testing, Unit Testing, Acceptance 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	NBi is an open-source framework for testing Business Intelligence solutions or validating data quality. NBi helps you to create tests targeting your databases, cubes, etls and reports. Tests are written in xml using an intuitive syntax therefore thereis no need of any development language. Nbi tests target databases, cubes, etls and reports
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 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 Nbi tests Business intelligence software which retrieve, analyze, transform and report data therefore it targets databases, cubes, etls and reports and you can natively connect to any database supporting OleDb or ODBC connection
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	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 define 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.	Yes There are methods that act as generators	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Free	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)	Yes It has built in support for Mocks	Yes You can create your own mock objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite	Yes Yes, Nbi comes with a solution to automate, as much as possible, the creation of the test-suites through its user interface, named GenBI
