General info |
Wallaby.js is an integrated continuous testing tool for JavaScript.Wallaby.js runs your tests immediately as you change your code (you don’t even have to save the file) and reports code coverage and other results directly to your code editor. Its also uses various techniques such as dependency analysis to only execute tests affected by your code changes and parallel test execution to ensure your tests run as fast as possible. |
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 |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
N/A |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesWallaby.js can test front-end components and functionality |
YesBy testing your PHP classes that run your front-end |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesWallaby.js can test server behaviour and functionality |
YesYou 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 |
N/A |
YesYou 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. |
N/A |
YesYou 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 |
YesThere are methods that act as generators |
Licence
Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software |
N/A |
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) |
By use of a third party library Jest works well with wallaby |
YesIt has built in support for Mocks |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
In PHPspec, you can group specification files by a certain namespace in a suite |
