phpspec is a SpecBDD (Specification-based Behavior-Driven Development) testing framework for PHP. It guides developers to design and specify object behavior through executable specifications rather than traditional tests.

Use cases

  • write behavior-driven specs for PHP classes
  • test-driven design of PHP objects
  • run executable specifications instead of unit tests
  • mock and stub dependencies in PHP tests
  • adopt BDD workflow in a PHP project

When to choose

  • you want SpecBDD-style development in PHP
  • you prefer designing objects through specifications
  • you need built-in mocking tailored to spec workflows

When to avoid

  • you want conventional unit testing with PHPUnit
  • your project is not PHP-based
  • you need end-to-end browser testing
