Speckl
======

[](#speckl)

Speckl is a PHP testing framework that provides the same elegant structure as Mocha, Jest and RSpec (to name a few). It provides a BDD-oriented `describe`/`it` interface that allows you to eloquently articulate what you're looking to test.

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
class Dog {
  public $isHappy;

  public function isGood() {
    return true;
  }

  public function tailIsWagging() {
    return $this->isHappy;
  }
}

describe(Dog::class, function() {
  beforeEach(function() {
    $this->dog = new Dog();
  });

  context('when the dog is happy', function() {
    it("wags it's tail", function() {
      $this->dog->isHappy = true;
      expect($this->dog->tailIsWagging())->to->equal(true);
    });
  });

  it('is a good doggo', function() {
    expect($this->dog->isGood())->to->equal(true);
  });

  it('is a bad doggo', function() {
    expect($this->dog->isGood())->to->equal(false);
  });
});
```

**Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores.

**Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement.

**Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability.
