Moq vs PhpSpec: What are the differences?
Developers describe Moq as "The most popular and friendly mocking framework for .NET". It is a mocking library for .NET developed from scratch to take full advantage of .NET Linq expression trees and lambda expressions, which makes it the most productive, type-safe and refactoring-friendly mocking library available. And it supports mocking interfaces as well as classes. On the other hand, PhpSpec is detailed as "A toolset for behavior driven development". It is a tool which can help you write clean and working PHP code using behaviour driven development or BDD. BDD is a technique derived from test-first development.
Moq and PhpSpec can be categorized as "Testing Frameworks" tools.
