General info |
Arquillian is an Open source framework for writing Integration and functional testsArquilian comes bundled with many extra tools such as Arquillian graphene, Drone and Selenium to write tests to the visual layer as well |
go test is an inbuilt tool/command for conducting automated tests in Golang while testing is the inbuilt testing libraryTesting is the package that is shipped with go and combines with the go test command to provide a minimal but complete testing experience |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesIt is a xUnit framework |
NoHowever there are Plugins such as https://github.com/tebeka/go2xunitto convert the output of Go testing library into xUnit format |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can perform unit tests on front-end components and functionality |
YesYes it can be used effectively for front-end testing |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can unit tests on back-end behaviours and functionalities by testing specific back-end classes and functions |
YesYes, it is used by developers for end-to-end testing so the back-end can be tested easily as well |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesBy use of extensions, for example you can use the Persistence extension to set database fixtures |
YesYes it's straightforward in that first when you run 'go test' for packages in the scope the test will be executed with its working directory set to the source directory of the package being tested. Second the 'go test' tool will ignore any directory in your $GOPATH that starts with the word 'testdata' , starts with a period or an underscore |
Group fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests. |
YesYou can define group fixtures |
YesGroup fixtures can be done following a similar procedure as a single fixture |
Generators
Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way. |
N/A |
YesThey are available by importing a package called 'gotests' (https://github.com/cweill/gotests) |

Mocks
Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed) |
YesArquillian supports mock object functionality you can use third party libraries |
YesBy use of a third party library GoMock which intergrates well with the testing library |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesArquilian supports grouping of tests |
YesThe short answer is yes, by use of table tests which are a great way of performing multiple I/O tests on a function or behaviour with minimal code |
