Behat vs Testify comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Behat and Testify?

	Behat https://docs.behat.org/en/latest/	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify
Programming language	PHP	Go
Category	Functional/Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Behat is an open source Behavior-Driven Development framework for PHP. Behat uses the StoryBDD subtype of behaviour-driven development (the other subtype is SpecBDD); This means the tests we write with Behat look rather like stories than code. It is inspired by Ruby's Cucumber	A set of golang packages that has many tools for testing Go code Testify is a Go testing framework that has some great features like easier assertions, Test suite Interfaces, and Mocks
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes To enable Behat to test a website, you need to add Mink and a browser emulator (selenium maybe, though slow) to the mix. Mink methods are the connector between Behat and an extensive list of available drivers, and they provide a consistent testing API.	Yes Yes, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Behat can be used for Data Integrity Testing to verify that database operations are functioning properly	Yes Yes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes One can use the 'Doctrinefixturesbundle' to create the required fixture loaders and load them in our Behat scenarios when required, using the 'BeforeScenario' hook.	N/A
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 Behat allows for group fixtures	N/A
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.	By use of third party libraries like moodle-behat-generators	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT 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)	By using third party libraries like Mock and Prophecy	Yes Its 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can use tags to group features and scenarios together, independent of your file and directory structure	Yes Using the 'suite' package developers can build a test suite as a struct build teardown and setup methods as well as testing methods on the struct then run them with 'go test'
