pecs is a tiny behavior-driven development library for PHP 5.3, a la RSpec or JSpec.
To use the traditional example, it works like this:
require "lib/pecs.php";
require "bowling.php";
describe("Bowling", function() {
it("should score 0 for a gutter game", function() {
$bowling = new Bowling();
for ($i=0; $i < 20; $i++) {
$bowling->hit(0);
}
expect($bowling->score)->to_equal(0);
});
it("should get drinks for free just for being here", function() {
$bowling = new Bowling();
expect($bowling->score)->to_equal(42);
});
});
\pecs\run();
The output looks something like this:
$ php test_bowling.php
Bowling
- should score 0 for a gutter game: pass
- should get drinks for free just for being here: fail
FAILURE:
expected 0 to equal 42

#7 .../lib/pecs.php(262): pecs\Suite->run()
#8 .../lib/pecs.php(350): pecs\Runner->run(NULL)
#9 .../test_bowling.php(19): pecs\run()
#10 {main}

pecs is greatly inspired by JSpec's grammar-less syntax, and was written because I don't want to have to switch gears so much when going between PHP and JSpec testing.
