AVA vs Gocheck comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between AVA and Gocheck?

	AVA https://github.com/avajs/ava	Gocheck https://github.com/go-check/check
Programming language	JavaScript	Go
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Futuristic, new, fast and concurrent JavaScript test runner with simple test syntax AVA is a test runner for Node.js with a concise API, detailed error output. JS is a single-threaded but Node.JS is a parallel due to it's async behaviour. Ava leverages that and it can run tests concurrently	Rich testing framework for Go Gocheck is a richer testing framework for Golang libraries and applications that includes checkers and assertions among many other features, it also works as an extension to the testing package and 'go test'
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No However Ava supports the TAP format which allows us to use the tap-xunit reporter to produce xUnit (JUnit) XML	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write tests for the DOM with Ava, testing front-end components is easy with Ava	Yes Yes, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Ava utilizes the async I/O nature of Node and runs concurrent tests on NodeJs applications' back-endsA node server can have its endpoints tested with Ava	Yes Yes end-to-end testing means that various back-end components and behaviour can be tested
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Using Ava's ava-fixture library it supports fixtures	Yes Fixtures are available with Gocheck either per suite and/or per setup and teardown
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.	Yes Ava has support for group fixtures	Yes Group fixtures are available as a suite
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Simplified BSD License
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)	AVA has no mocking built in, to mock functions you can use third party libraries like Sinon.js.	Yes Through third party libraries like gomock
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No There is no support for grouping tests	Yes When testing, developers can create suites of tests
