Unit Testing |
General info |
PhpSpec is a testing tool based on the concept of emergent design using specificationPhpSpec 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 |
MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net frameworkMSTest is fully integrated with Visual Studios and works natively without the need for any plugins. MSTest is better suited for only using Microsoft technologies rather than mixed technology environments. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesMsTest is an xUnit type framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesBy testing your PHP classes that run your front-end |
YesMsTest can test various front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can use PHPSpec to test your PHP classes that run your back-end |
YesWith MSTest you can test various back-end components individually |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesYou can define fixtures |
YesMSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment |
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. |

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) |
YesIt has built in support for Mocks |
YesYou can create mock objects using the third party library moq |
