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

	Quick https://github.com/quick/quick	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/
Programming language	Swift	PHP
Category	Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Quick is a Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework. Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C that is inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes bundled with Nimble a matcher framework for your tests.	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
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style test framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Developers can test front-end behaviour and components by defining front-end feature specifications	Yes By testing your PHP classes that run your front-end
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Developers can test back-end behaviour and components by defining back-end feature specifications	Yes You can use PHPSpec to test your PHP classes that run your back-end
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Quick contains fixture methods setup() and teardown() for setting up and destroying test environments	Yes You can define fixtures
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 Yes, example groups (logical groupings of examples/tests) can share setup and teardown code	Yes You can define 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.	N/A	Yes There are methods that act as generators
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	Free
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 Yes, developers can create mock objects with Quick using the Cuckoo library	Yes It has built in support for Mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes In Quick test suites are named Specs, and every test suite you create starts off with a class inheriting from QuickSpec includes a main method, spec() which contains all the test cases.	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite
