General info |
SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NETSpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET which follows the BDD paradigm, and is part of the Cucumber family. SpecFlow tests are written with Gherkin, using the official Gherkin parser which allows you to write test cases using natural languages and supports over 70 languages. |
Enhance PHP is a lightweight Open Source PHP unit testing frameworkIt has support for mocks and stubs and runs in the browser, or via the command line |
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 |
YesFront-end behaviour is tested. With specflow specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against this |
YesIt tests front-end functionality and can run in the browser |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesBack-end behaviour is tested. Specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against them |

Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBeforeTestRun and AfterTestRun are executed once for each thread which is a limitation of the current architecture. |
YesOne is able to write fixtures in Enhance PHP |
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. |
N/A |
YesOne is able to write group fixtures in Enhance PHP |
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. |
YesSpecFlow contains a generator component. The SpecFlow IDE integration tries to locate the generator component in your project structure, in order to use the generator version matching the SpecFlow runtime in your project |

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) |
YesSpecflow intergrates well with mock to give it excellent mocking capabilities |
YesEnhance PHP has built-in support for mocks and stubs. You can set up expectations and supply predictable return values |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesYou can create test suites with specflow |
YesYou can group tests into suites with Enhance PHP |
