General info |
Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applicationsSpock has a highly expressive specification language, and due to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers.Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans among others |
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. |

Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesSpock tests front-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |
YesIt tests front-end functionality and can run in the browser |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesSpock tests back-end components and functionality by unit testing individual classes and functions |

Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesSpock contains four methods for setting up environments :setup() (run before every feature method), cleanup() (run after every feature method), setupSpec() (run before the first feature method), cleanupSpec() (run after the last feature method) |
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. |
YesYou can use the fixture methods to setup environments for groups of tests. |
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. |

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) |
YesSpock has inbuilt mocking capabilities and has no need for external libraries |
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 suites manually in spock |
YesYou can group tests into suites with Enhance PHP |
