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

	Concordion https://concordion.org/	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify
Programming language	Java	Go
Category		Unit Testing
General info	Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.	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 You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion	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 You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion.	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 Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding fixtures	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 One can group fixtures in concordion	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.	N/A	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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)	Yes By use of third party libraries like mockito	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 One can group tests into suites	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'
