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 |
An assertion library for JavaScript (similar to chai.js)It works with any test runner and unit testing framework like Mocha, Jasmine, Karma, protractor (E2E test framework for Angular apps) and QUnit. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesBy testing your PHP classes that run your front-end |
YesUnit.js runs in the browser to test 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 |
YesUnit.js runs in nodejs to test server-side behaviour |
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 |
YesUnit.js provides Test fixtures for running testsThis is one of its features |
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. |
YesYou can define group fixtures |
YesWith Unit.js you can group your fixtures |

YesThere are methods that act as generators |
