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

	Codedeception https://codeception.com/	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Programming language	PHP	Go
Category	Unit Testing, Acceptance Testing/Functional Testing	Regression Testing, Unit Testing
General info	Codeception is a full-stack testing framework for PHP It is inspired by BDD and provides a way of writing acceptance, functional and even unit tests. It is powered by PHPUnit.	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.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes One is able to write acceptance tests which are used to look at functionality from a user's perspective. It is able to look at pages in browser (Chrome, Firefox or PhpBrowser)	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It supports back-end tests, by writing functionaltests one can be able to test server behaviour	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 One can define a fixture and write the test with Codedeception, use the yii2-codedeceptionextention which will autoload fixtures for you	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.	Yes One can define group fixtures	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 Codeception provides Codeception\Stub library for building mocks and stubs for tests	Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Codeception consists of three so-called “suites”: A “unit suite” for all unit tests, a “functional suite” for all functional tests, and an “acceptance suite” for all acceptance tests.	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function
