Cedar vs Goconvey comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Cedar and Goconvey?

	Cedar https://github.com/cedarbdd/cedar	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Programming language	Swift	Go
Category	Unit Testing	Regression Testing, Unit Testing
General info	Cedar is a BDD-style testing for swift using Objective-C Cedar is a BDD-style Objective-C/Swift testing framework that has an expressive matcher DSL and convenient test doubles (mocks). It provides better organizational facilities than the tools provided by XCTest/OCUnit In environments where C++ is available, it provides powerful built-in matchers, test doubles and fakes	BDD style testing framework for Go Goconvey is a two pronged testing tool consisting of a test runner that watches your code for changes, runs 'go test' and renders your results in a web browser and the second a library that allows you to write BDD-style tests with standard 'go test' functions
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Cedar is an xUnit style framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test front-end components and behaviour with Cedar, its language is biased towards describing the behavior of your objects.	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test back-end components with a bias towards their expected behaviour. Cedar specs also allow you to nest contexts so that it is easier to understand how your object behaves in different scenarios	Yes Yes one can perform end-to-end HTTP tests with goconvey to see how an application works against remote servers
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Cedar has beforeEach and afterEach class methods which Cedar will look for on every class it loads. You can add these onto any class you compile into your specs and Cedar will run them	Yes Yes, Goconvey uses scopes to define fixtures and a reset function for 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.	N/A	Yes One can define group fixtures using scopes
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	Yes The web UI has a button to open the built in generator
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Goconvey 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)	Yes Cedar contains inbuilt mock/test double functionality	Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Cedar supports shared example groups. You can declare them in one of two ways: either inline with your spec declarations, or separately.	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function
