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

	MSTest https://github.com/microsoft/testfx-docs	PHPSpec https://www.phpspec.net/en/stable/
Programming language	.NET	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	MSTest is a Unit testing framework for the .net framework MSTest 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.	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 MsTest is an xUnit type framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes MsTest can test various front-end components	Yes By testing your PHP classes that run your front-end
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With MSTest you can test various back-end components individually	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 MSTest contains fixture methods TestInitialize to setup your environment and TestCleanup to destroy the test environment	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 Group fixtures are available	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	Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 International Public License	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 You can create mock objects using the third party library moq	Yes It has built in support for Mocks
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Grouping of tests into suites is possible with MSTest	In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite
