comparison of BDD-style PHPUnit VS PHPSpec1 (has almost nothing to do with phpspec2)

bdd_in_phpunit__vs__phpspec.php

<?php

// how that:

class DescribeContextZend extends PHPSpec_Context
{
    public function itShouldSetControllerNameUsingContextClass()
    {
        $context = new DescribeFooController;
        $this->spec($context->getController())->should->be('Foo');
    }

    public function itShouldCreateFrontControllerWhenInstantiated()
    {
        $context = new DescribeFooController;
        $this->spec($context->getFrontController())->should
            ->beAnInstanceOf('Zend_Controller_Front');
    }
}

// is better than that:

class ContextZendTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    /**
     * @Test
     */
    public function itShouldSetControllerNameUsingContextClass()
    {
        $context = new DescribeFooController;
        $this->assertEquals('Foo', $context->getController());
    }

    /**
     * @Test
     */
    public function itShouldCreateFrontControllerWhenInstantiated()
    {
        $context = new DescribeFooController;
        $this->assertInstanceOf('Zend_Controller_Front', $context->getFrontController());
    }
}

// ? :-)

// And what's even worse - second one is really-really more readable!
